1. I was going to respond huh? but
did not want to continue a conversation. Do any of you know what this person is talking about. Geez George, stop sending me emails. Does Georgie want a healthcare bill?

2. It reads a bit
like a stroke victim had written it.. There's a bit of asphasia about it.

(Or it could have just been a test to see if it had reached a working mailbox for spam purposes.)

3. I'm guessing a spam.
The misspellings are a classic way for them to get around spam blockers.

4. This looks a lot like some kind of "fishing"
probably to verify a valid address. Mailing lists with verified addresses are much more valuable than just mass-harvested addresses. My personal policy is to *never* respond to anything of this sort.
