A Letter from Hong Kong

This is a email  received by me yesterday in regards to a small item, a seven slot powered hub, I ordered through eBay and has not been received.  The email is so special, I could not help but publish it for everyone to see. I ordered another one, of course: Hi Arthur, Thanks for your enquiry. I am ________________ , customer service officer of your order.   Please DON'T worry. GOD BLESS THE HONESTY. We must follow your case as quickly as we can. Please be informed that we got your order at September 15, 5:20AM, PDT (i.e. September 15, 8:20PM, HONG KONG TIME, Hong Kong Time is 15 hours ahead of PDT) and your ordered package was already mailed out at September 16, 10:55AM (HONG KONG TIME). It was shortly after we got your order. Oh! My God! If you still do not get your parcel, it seems that the parcel may be lost during shipment.   Please DON'T worry. Please be informed that we are HONEST and RESPONSIBLE seller, we take full responsibility of being lost during shipment. We have a special proposal as below: (1) We mail you another parcel in REGISTERED airmail, we bear the product cost and postage of this 2nd shipment by ourselves, you do not need to pay for it; (2) If you finally get both parcels, i.e. the 1st and the 2nd shipment, and you would like to keep only one parcel, please mark on the 2nd parcel BIG WORDS 'REJECTED' or 'RETURN to SENDER'. Then give this to post office or postman. This 2nd parcel will then be returned to us. You do not need to pay any postage if you return the parcel in this way; (3) If you finally get both parcels and you would like to keep both parcels, would you please send us US$3.99 which is special price offered by us for 2nd set. (4) If you finally got only one parcel, you and we can certainly regard our deal as completed (5) there is no risk of being lost again in 2nd shipment as it is in REGISTERED airmail We think that this arrangement is fair and good to both you and us. ### Would you please let us know whether you are ok with this special proposal so that we can arrange for the 2nd shipment as quickly as we can? We apologize for all the inconvenience caused. SORRY! Have a nice day. Best Regards,   ____________
