Modesty...I has it!

I was chatting with a little bird today and the little bird informed me that a certain blogger had told her that he had 'apparently' got this mail from “me” the other day!

Dear A Blogger,

Just a note to tell you that I love your blog. Though I never comment on your posts, count me in amongst your many silent admirers.

Anjali

Touching aint it? Now let me tell you all a secret. I get such messages too. Honestly!! Though modesty prevents me waxing eloquent about my “silent admirers” I cannot but share some interesting mails I get with you all. I am not showing off now... mind you. This is just to let you all know how honored I am by the mails sent in by some people. Here's a sample of a few mails amongst the thousands I get.

To: Anjali Philip

Dear Anjali,

I have recently started reading your blog from the White House and I must say I love it. As soon as I have sorted out the mess here (you know where) I will make arrangements to appoint you to a key White House post. God alone knows we need a break in here (you know from what).

Regards,

Obama

    My dearest lil sweet heart,

    It’s 15 past midnight here, in Germany, and I’ve been thinking about you. In fact, I’ve been craving for you. I know you’ll be busy with your hectic schedule but I can’t restrain myself from sending this mail. Remember the 1st time when we met in Paris, you completely won me over; and the raunchy nights in Chateau de la Hotel. ;) The very thought about you makes me…….errr…..you know…… hard to control my feelings for you. I can’t wait to meet you. Please, I beg your pardon; please drop by in here when you visit Dusseldorf next time. Hugs and Kisses.

    Yours and yours only

    Claudia (or Claudi as you like to call me when in that romantic mood)


    Charm…….I hazz it!

    Or did Obama had some role to play in this ;-)

    My wonderful mail spam settings scans away all my secret admirers ;-)

  15. Hey, Even I have received a lot of such mails. On going through the comments posted, I see that a lot of people are victims to this evil.
    :)
    Maybe we should form a Self Help Group. We could even think of contesting the elections, post which in the unlikely event that any of us actually win, we could even form the Fifteenth Front complete with our own prime ministerial candidate!
    :P

  16. The last time a Democrat President appointed a lady to a key White House position, things didn't end too well. Let's see how it turns out this time :D

    btw, BO signs his mail as Barack, and he normally sends it from his Blackberry. At least he did so the last time he mailed me to send over some kannimanga achar.

    ReplyDelete
  17. "Thy Blog" LOL! And Angelina's adoption request! ahahah!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I too am a silent admirer :D:D ..

  23. Anjali,you have posted a highly confidential information about me offering you a White House Post. You realise the implications if it reaches the press, don't you? I do not want more mess being created at "you know where".

    Obama, Ernie, Willie,Angie,OBL et al: Thank you for your esteemed comments. I will reply individually to you all soon! :p

    Hitch writer: :) Well this was my way of telling some people that even I can hit the fwd button and change the name in the email field to make it look like people like Obama etc had written to me. Someone did that to convince someone that I had written to them! :)

    WSW: I will tell all soon! :p

  40. Damn. Now I have to fight John Abraham too?

    Got to strategize. He looks like a guy who works out far too much. I don't think I can take him head on.

    Maybe I should cheat. Lace his diet coke with... coke. Yeah! But that plan could take years. No.

    No. No. New strategy. I'll sit on him. YES! I'll just sit on him. I don't care how much he works out; he'd be begging for mercy in under ten seconds. The perks of morbid obesity.

    After that, the path is clear; I can go ask Angelina Jolie for your hand...

    Hmm... I've seen some of her movies. Maybe she'd take my request literally. No good. Groan... Another roadbump. Strategize. New plan... Let me think... Hmm.... I got it! No. I don't. Think more.... Will get back to you...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Pssst... You still have that amorous love letter I sent you stashed away in you inbox rite? You are not gonna show that one to the whole world right? *Tremble tremble* ... *Fidgety fidety* ... *Bundle of nerves*
