Flattery will get you anywhere

Ooh ! This mail makes me feel so wanted

What's the bet that I am just one of many thousands who is getting this mail.

Still, I love the ego-massaging aspect! It's a mass mail and yet you feel "Wow! The president of BusinessWeek thinks I am somebody!"

Shows you how a little flattery will ensure people to do most things!

Do you use flattery? Does it work?
