Hi,

I had a chance to visit your website and I understand you offer  exclusively Accounting and Finance,  I was curious to know if you would be interested in any of the following database:-
  • Banking Sector
  • Finance Decision Makers
  • Finance Designations ( Executives, Managers, Directors, Chiefs)
  • Financial Analysts
  • Accountancy
  • Business, Management & Accountancy
We are a marketing company and is specialized in Email List Acquisition/ Email Appending, We have internal databases of 40 million B2B worldwide contacts and 130 million B2C contacts.

Let me know your interest area and I shall send you few samples, counts and more details for your reference.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I hope you had a chance to review my email that I sent you regarding email list acquisition and email appending.

If you feel I should talk to somebody else in your organization in regards email list purchase, it would be great if you could forward this email to the right person. I appreciate your time.

Thank you and waiting for your response.

Regards,

Hi,

I hope you had a chance to review my email that said REMOVE in the subject line, per your unsubscribe instructions.

Not only am I not the correct person for you to contact, no one at our organization is interested in buying your spammy email list.

Finally, I actually no longer work at iProspect. The person receiving your emails is my former boss’s boss. And she’s tired of all the spam that I get. And replying as me, just so her own email address is not added to your spam lists.

Good luck finding more appropriate and accurate ways of reaching your target market. This one certainly is not working.

Best,

JOE SMITH (slash actually his boss’s boss)

PS. I hope some robo-spam scraper picks up your email address from this blog post and fills your inbox with unsolicited, irrelevant offers.

    Hi Casey, they flood me with those emails almost every day... I was just about to hurt somebody but now I know I am not the only one being bombarded by Brenda J. ;-) Thanks for sharing this. Alex

    Good morning Casey - just figured I share this with you: They seemed to have stopped after a I put "REMOVE" in the subject line (for the 5th time or so ;-))...
