An Open Letter to the Other Me
Girl, I don’t know you, but I have gotten to know a LOT about you.
We have the same name and our email addresses must be nearly the same, because I get all kinds of your mail at least once a week. Your travel arrangements, your Evites, your everything.
Like this, this morning:
just wanted to tell you that… YOU ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL TO MEEEE. and to have a great trip to boston of course! now, i have never been to boston or any neighboring towns so i can’t really offer any advice. however, steering clear of homeless folks seems like a universally good piece of advice to me!!
stay out of trouble, be safe, and have a GREAT time! i’ll talk to you when you get back. i look forward to lots of stories!

Beth, Boston really isn’t as dangerous as you seem to think it is. But yeah, I suppose that is good advice in general.
Or this from last week:

Aw, guys, I’m sure your villas won’t be dross, no matter how late you book. And I, too, hope Isobelle and Luke are well.
Further to additional information I have learned about you, my Other Me, I hope that you all enjoy your trip to Portugal in two weeks. And I hope your rented Renault Espace works well for you while you’re there. I’m sure it will fit seven, as promised. And you got a great price booking it.
For the record, I answer EVERY SINGLE ONE of these emails and tell the person they’ve reached the wrong person.
Thank goodness I’m not a stalker.
this post is hilarious. i don’t have this problem, but it sure was funny to read about it!
I have the same name as a woman in my company who runs the maintenance department in another division of Emerson.
I frequently am notified that the toilets in the machine shop are overflowing.
At least you don’t have another person in your company with the same name as you minus one “t” – like a floor mat, the fool.
God only knows how many emails he has received demanding payment for $120k worth of video conference equipment.
