This is funny. I stole it from Barb the Evil Genius. Thanks, Barb! It's the Dysfunctional Family Form Letter. While even my extended family is not at all dysfunctional, I can think of someone (Nickolaus Albert Pacione) who routinely sends out email form letters much like this one to complete strangers. I've received a couple of them, as have quite a few horror authors. Jean-Loup Benet (his pen name) even sent a legal "cease and desist" letter to the jerk. Personally, I think the joke form letter is quite tame compared to the reality of what NAPpy-boy writes and sends people he suspects of ruining his book sales on Lulu.
