From: xxxx [mailto:xxxx@sprig.com] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 12:08 PM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: Introducing Myself and $20 from Sprig Hey there - I wanted to reach out and introduce myself. My name is Billy Blaustein and I'm acting as the new Manager of Sprig here in San Francisco. I'm a Bay Area native that cares deeply about healthy accessible eating. I'm reaching out now because I know that used to be a big fan of Sprig, but for some reason we haven't had you order from us in the past few months. We've done an amazing amount of work at Sprig rebuilding our app, rebuilding our menu, and trying to build a great brand for busy San Franciscans. I can personally attest that a lot of our food is completely redone. I've put $20 of Sprig credit into your account that you can use through February. I'd love to hear from you about your experience. I apologize for emailing, but this is a personal outreach from my personal account. Looking forward to hearing from you - BB

Do people sending these messages ever read them back back to themselves aloud? Please, at least write something that isn't from the same template as every other unsolicited email I get about <random> online service.

  Yeah. Although personally, I think that it's still not as bad as the "James from FoobarSaaS" for the technical products (you know, CI, etc). It was new and cool a few years ago, and maybe non-technical users find it more trustworthy, personal touch, whatever. But when you get this crap daily, it's just a bit silly. There's nothing personal about spam and I don't even know if the "James from FoobarSaaS" person actually exists (probably not).

It wasn't $17 if you subscribed for $10/mo as I did. It was more like 11-13. For a meal that arrived within 15 minutes of ordering it, it rocked when I was coming home tired or from practice.
