Received my 1st absentee letter today
I got a letter in the mail today, handwritten name and address from someone in MI. As soon as I opened it, I knew exactly what it was without even reading it.
I was in MI a while back and attended a MREI meeting in Troy, where Robyn Thompson was selling her programs. During the education part, she talked about her absentee letters and how she uses a horse water mark on the paper to produce results. Well the person who sent me the letter must have purchased her program, but decided to use a couple deer instead.
And since we received it, I can now see how some people get freaked out. My wife was asking me questions like, 'how do they know we don't live there?' , 'how do they know our address in NC?', 'we aren't selling the house, are we?'
I'm considering calling him and letting him know to add me to his buyers list.

Ha! I never minded getting the landlord letters. The probate letter with the sappy, sepia tone little girl on the swing kind of got my goat, though...
