Send Prayer

It has been a while since I've posted anything on this site, but I've got three unsolicited emails to post this morning, all of which came in yesterday, or overnight.

The first is from a website called "Send Prayer". Now, before I post the email, I'd like to point out that it is possible that some friend of mine really did visit this website and ask them to "send me a prayer". It's possible. Not likely, since the email came in on an address very few of my friends use. But still possible. So I won't definitively call this one spam. But there is something I'd like to point out, after you look at the email.

sendPRAYER.com Bless People with Prayer in 3 Easy Steps!

Hello,

The thing that caught my attention was that you have to "opt-in" to receive your "blessing". What does "opt-in" mean? It means that you agree to receive emails from them. In other words, an anonymous friend sent me a prefab prayer, and if I want to receive it, I have to agree to get on their mailing list.

I don't think I'm going to do that.
