from another ridiculous famouspoets.com letter...


It is exciting to see you blossom as a poet! Dr Kenneth Fan, the highly regarded poet-laureate of the Republic of China, wants to meet you personally and to walk with you in our Famous Poets Parade and Poets for Peace Balloonathon. As Grand Marshal he invites you to bring a special poem to release with him "on the wings of Pegasus." Your poem, simply, is your message of love to the world. Hundreds of balloons with poems tied to them will be set free, making a rainbow of poetry in the sky!

We have designed our sparkling convention to be everything your poetical heart could desire, plus the wonderful dramatic program that follows, Shakespeare's Magic Giants. I can already hear the crowd cheering as the laureate crown is placed on your head! How noble you look!

Whoever 
  came up with 
        that               idea 
        needs to be        taken 

  out back     &     beaten over the 
              head 

     with a red wheelbarrow.

is that an actual letter you got? if so, that's hilarious! i've received similar junk emails, but nothing quite that ridiculous. :)
