Real and for-true e-mail


This e-mail went to seven people in my organization. I was one of the lower ranking recipients.

"Good morning. Several orders were placed with [Tech Support] for software for your perusal. As soon as the software has been delivered and installed, please provide me with the installation discs for safekeeping. I maintain a database for all software purchases within [the organization].

[List of different software packages and who received each.]

Thanks."

That's a relief. Now I know how to keep my installation discs safe. I was debating: Should I melt them? Pitch them in the toilet? Grind them up and eat them? It was a quandary. Thank heaven we've got people like this looking out for us.
