Hi
I visited
WWW.QUARELLA.CO.UK, and
noticed that you're not listed on some search engines! I
think we can offer you a service which can help you increase traffic
and the number of visitors to your website.
I would like to
introduce you to
TrafficMagnet.com.
We offer a unique technology that will submit your website to over
300,000 search engines and directories every month.
....
I would love to hear from you.
Best Regards,

Well, thanks for the email Sarah - it was very good of you to take the time to look at our site.
If you'd looked more closely you'd have realised that spam-me@quarella.co.uk
wasn't the best way to contact us.
The email also contained a nice image of our site - well actually the email only contained a link to the
image, so that when it was displayed by my email software it had to be taken from their server, no doubt
logging the fact that the email they'd used was "valid".

Once again thanks for the email, Jane. "Unfortunately" we already run a detailed stats service of our own
for our customers that host with us. Once again we see the "it's OK to knowingly annoy someone if you
apologise at the same time" approach at the foot of the email.
