Funny line from a sales email in my junk folder: "I have been trying to contact you, but have so far been unable to reach you. Do I have your correct email address?"

What kind of scenario are they imagining would yield a "no" answer to that question?

@pbx Assuming good faith, it might be just a weird way to phrase, "I'm looking for X, is this their email address?" Plus, there are weirdly people who do not seem to know their own email address. I hear about it frequently from people with common names. They'll get tons of emails (some containing sensitive information!) for someone else to their first.last@gmail address.

That said, I think the more plausible thing is that marketing people seem to use weird or surprising language to catch your attention, so it's probably a deliberate ploy to stick out in your mind.
