\nR u free for business meeting<\/p>\n

Thanks & Regards

Now, ordinarily, this would just seem like some spammer who isn’t even really trying.\u00a0 I mean, bad English, bad grammar, bad punctuation, nothing like any actual business missive would include.\u00a0 Obviously a spammer, a goofball, someone not worth worrying about.<\/p>\n

If I vanish sometime soon<\/a>, just wanted to let folks know about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
