But every once in a while something special comes across my inbox, and this email was one of them.

    Josh was this for real? It almost seems so bad it has to be a fabrication?

    Josh:

    Absolutely hilarious! My sympathies Bob. I am sure Joshua did not mean anything personal by posting your email LOL. The biggest laugh I’ve had today!

    Hmm…I just now noticed that multiple authors are claiming to have written that email. LOL.

    Too funny.

    No way can that be real. It has to be a prank. Maybe someone who thinks SEO is a big joke decided to so how you’d respond?

    I’m pretty sure it’s real. I think it’s just some 17-year-old kid from Indonesia (based on his name, which I removed) or the Phillipines or something, and that’s just his best attempt at English based on his use of it while texting.
