My name is also James. James Sheridan. Hey, yeah - that's your name
too, right? Small world.

As you'll have no-doubt noticed from the subject and attachment to
this mail, this is your boarding pass for your BA flight tomorrow from
Heathrow to Glasgow. I imagine you'll probably need it. Are you
surprised that a stranger, albeit one with the same name, has your
boarding pass? Don't worry, I'm not a hacker, and I'm not emptying
your bank account as we speak - no, really, I'm not, sadly. What I am,
is someone who's getting rather bored of receiving someone else's
email.

This mail is the latest in a series I've had, all purporting to be for
a person with the same name as me. I've had them for all kinds of
things - confirmation of car hires, mailing list subscriptions,
sign-ups to... *those* websites, very risque! When it first happened,
I thought _I'd_ had my identity cloned! Now, I'm a bit wiser, and have
realised that someone, well - _you_ - keeps serially mis-typing their
email address when signing up for stuff all over the web.

It's only today, that I've actually managed to locate your *real*
email address - by logging into your BA booking (as BA kindly sent me
the boarding pass, with your booking reference on it) and seeing your
email address (and mobile phone number) on the 'Manage My Booking'
part of the site. So, here you are - here's your boarding pass.

Now, a quick lesson:

YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS: jamesmsheridan@<redacted>

MY EMAIL ADDRESS: jamessheridan@<redacted> (also
james.sheridan@<redacted> - don't ask, Google make it 'easier' by
ignoring .'s in email addresses, I think it's daft too).

The omission of that little 'm' - that's the distance between us,
James. If you forget that 'm', *I* will receive the mail. It's that
simple. Please don't forget the 'm' - I've only endeavoured to look
into this tonight because of the nature of the mail - others might
just have ignored it completely, or - worse - used the information
I've had mailed to me in the past to steal your identity.

Be careful out there.

Cheers.
