This is the letter I send back when it is someone like West Hawaii Today's spammers wanting me to subscibe to the online WHT. The webmaster replied - WE'LL TAKE YOUR NAME OFF OUR LIST..... I dont do this for 99% but once in awhile it makes me feel assertive doing this!
Aloha Sir or Madam,
I hope today finds you in good spirits and realizing how blessed you are with family and such nice friends.
I, on the other hand, am not so lucky, I have been bombarded with emails from Nigerians, from England, from all over the world claiming to have my long lost inheritance from a relative that is unable to launder their money. I just got worn out and couldn’t do my job from reading so many of these utterly stupid emails.
Then there was my vacation rental – my last source of income. I was bombarded by links to websites that promised me all sorts of things if I would just sign up for their service. Even beautiful women sent me links to their pages and I am married. I did not have enough time to respond the occasional inquiries about our rental because I was busy with all the emails I thought were some one supposedly wanting to rent it.
Or I am busy getting these stupid emails: “You can get the ENTIRE newspaper on your computer every day.”
The last of my money was taken by a product that claimed to make me look like Brooke Shields. I tried to ignore it but when it popped up on every page I went to – I had to look. Then the Viagra ads started – I guess if at 51 I looked like Brooke Shields, then my husband would need the Viagra emails we get by the 1000’s!
So therefore, I am broke. Please send money – cash is fine. Dealing with the spam and the endless products does not leave me a lot of time to go to the bank so cash is better.
My address is:

HI 96xxx
I am looking forward eagerly to hearing from you.
