Because my maiden name is the most common, I get tons of emails from people intending to reach another Lindsay Smith. I was lucky enough to nab the lindsay.smith email address at a popular email site at the site's inception. So I get tons of email for people trying to reach lindsay.smith1 or lindsay.smith2, you get the idea.
This email below is so precious that I thought I'd share. Usually the emails are something along the lines of "Study Group - meeting at the library at 7!" or "Hey it was great meeting you last night!" in which case I snicker that the schmuck either 1.) got a fake email address from a girl, or 2.) is a doof who didn't write down the email address correctly. Either way, I always end up replying to let them know of their mistake.
I wish everyone had a Grandpa Opal.

Dear Granddaughter,
Congratulations! What exciting news you had to send Sunday morning. I am delighted that you have found such a nice young man to be your life long companion. I wish you much happiness.
I had a fall here at home last Sat.AM. I had a problem with my right arm. It is better but now I am having trouble with my back. I'm just an old clumsy has been.
You will be having a birthday the day before Easter. Hope it will be a happy one.Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
Love always,
Grandma Opal
