[GreenKeys] An envelope from "J" - a mystery...

[Bob Camp]

Hi

It's the latest thing in junk mail. They have finally figured out that 
you throw the stuff out based on what the envelope looks like. The new 
stuff looks like a hand done envelope and the stuff in it looks like 
clippings from a magazine or newspaper. There usually is a cover letter 
that looks like a quick note from a friend.

I suspect the equipment to stuff them is pretty slick/ high tech 
mechanical stuff. To bad there isn't a plant in Skokie making fancy 
mechanical stuff any more.

	Enjoy!
