Um, I think this is spam. I think they are fishing for personal
information that they can use in some way. If you sent them something
by mail, then they would have your mailing address at a minimum.
Obviously, I don't think anyone would send something... but then they
work on percentages. If there is a 0.5% chance someone might, and there
are 400 people on this list, 2 people might fall for it.
