Dear CEO,

We , a registrar organization in China, have something to check with you. We received an application on Oct. 1, One Japan company called " Repet Trading Co. Ltd " is applying for "[my company name]" as internet brand and following Asian/.CN domain names to use.
[my company name].asia
[my company name].com.tw
[my company name].hk
[my company name].in
[my company name].net.cn
[my company name].org.cn
[my company name].tw

After our initial checking, we found the internet brand and keyword of these domain names are as same as your company's, so we need to check this with your company. If the aforesaid company is your subsidiary company or your business partner, please DO NOT reply us, we will approve the application automatically. If you have no any relationship with this company, please contact us within 7 workdays. If out of the deadline, we will approve the application submitted by " Repet Trading Co. Ltd " unconditionally.

Best Regards,

My Reply:

Dear Lead Checker,

I, a person annoyed by others who send spam mail to try and scare people into buying their products, am annoyed at you for sending spam mail trying to scare me (and others) into buying your products.

After my initial checking, I found that what http://www.china-publicdomain.org.cn is doing is bordering on fraud and this tactic is not welcome! If you have any relationship with the aforesaid company I urge to to think about your personal morals and reconsider before sending out another email like this. If out of the deadline (Whatever that supposed to mean) and you continue sending me mails like this, you will automatically become my new best friend and I will deem it very necessary to send you many mails every day to your inbox to show my appreciation of our new friendship. Unfortunately due to my busy schedule, I might ask that someone else send the mails on my behalf, so please do not be worried when some (most) of them are unrelated to us and how our new friendship is blossoming.

Best Regards,

Your new best-friend-in-waiting (also known as, The person annoyed by others who send spam mail to try and get people to buy their products)
