I signed up for a lead service after 4 months of phone calls. Once it started, I was getting Dear Jeff emails. I replied and called and said that my name was John. Well, today I got a Christmas card to Jeff. Both on the envelope and the card. I think I will cancel the service. If you can't remember my name, how good can your information be??? ugh

What's a lead service Jeff?
They provide bid request and building projects specs. There are several. They focus on different areas of construction. We all complain about education spending in the US, but the fact is, there are many schools built each year. Since we build school furniture, we like to know when a school is being built.

It's like a "lead of the month" club. First month: lead ingot, second month: lead paint, third month: lead pipe, etc.
Hmm I sent my elf a lead ingot. I wish I knew about this before, probably could have saved some $$.

Hahaha...when I read the first post, I thought that he was talking about some kind of dating leads service, and in that case, a "Dear Jeff" communication is infinitely better than a "Dear John" one.

Nope - I am afraid that I would meet BurlyShirley's friends and feel uncomfortable the next day. :help:

Dear John


When I woke up this morning
There was a note upon my door
Saying " Don't make me no coffee, Babe
Cause I won't be back no more"

And that's all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale
Daniel in the lion's den
I know a guy that didn't try to get along
And he won't get a chance again

That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

She didn't forward no address
No she never said goodbye
All she said was "If you get blue
Just hang your little head and cry"

That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

Now my gal's short and stubby
She's mean as she can be
If that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me

That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I fetched your saddle home"

Went down to the bank this morning
The cashier said with a grin
I'm sorry for you Little John
But your wife has done been in

That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

And that's a good plan if you are trying to sell someone a $20,000 a year service, why???

I tried to compose one once to a guy that I met on a camping trip in the 8th grade...but it didn't work...his name was john...for real...
Dear John:

[ ] Check here if you want to go to the campfire dance with me the last day

[ ] Check here if you want to sneak into my cabin that night for a panty raid

[ ] Check here if you didn't check both boxes above. Go die you useless fvck!

Sincerely,
She who owns you

Ok...that's a little less cryptic than your original posts, and most of your follow up posts...I agree...if they are trying to sell you a service or have sold you a service, they should have the courtesy of getting your name correct, especially after you've told them.

Sorry - it was a mini rant. Those aren't supposed to make sense right away are they?

I don't know, Jeff... maybe the company is owned by Burley Shirly and this is his way of messing with your head.
