I was once contacted by Apple.

The email almost got shitcanned, because it was so scruffy.

The subject was just "Hello From Apple." There was no HTML in the email, and the letter was really short.

It may have been an auto-generated one.

It never turned into anything, but it was a legit contact.



I once had a recruiter from facebook get stuck in the "spam" tab in facebook messenger back in 2014. Not the "you may know" message requests you get a notification about, but the spam you never see.

It was legit. Didn't see it until someone reached out a different way. A bit funny how their own platform failed them.


That’s funny, there’s actually been an intentional shift among “email thought leaders” towards shorter, plain-text emails because they can come across as more personal in today’s world of high-powered CRMs.


Reminds me of the Amazon ones.
