When you have a title that sounds just a little too much like a certain television show, sometimes you cop a few emails that don’t really understand.

Today I thought I would publish a few excerpts from some of the more bizarre, occasionally sad, emails that have hit my Inbox -names and identifying details have all been deleted.

Despite the fact that my Contact Page has big, bold letters that indicate I run a TV blog, some people still sound like they think they are writing to Matt White.

Sigh…

“We are asking for your channels help…Below is an outlined letter that we have sent to the Main Roads and State Government and Logan City Council, but to no avail.”

“I work for [deleted]. One of 4 stores he owns. He doesn’t employ Australian Pharmacists, so he doesn’t have to pay them properly. Nor does he pay the rest of the staff right.”

“We’ve sold our house and moved out on 27 January 2011, telstra were advised to switch our service to our new address and disconnect it at the sold property. We received an SMS a week later advising us of the connection date and time but the day before I received a phone call to let me know that there are no internet service available in our new area and Telstra will not be able to provide the service that was previously provided at the old address.”

“problems with hospital and unfairly treatment of a paitant and have been denied of her rites within the system forced into doing things that she has the rite to refuse doing. a big problem that every1 should now about and is cousing us to brake up and at the same time loose our kids.”

“The unpaid toll reminder for the 3rd time try to get moneY from me. the day was amount is 1.50 but admin fees is 15.00. I was at the club on 17/11/200 for hours from 12 till 11.30pm. They recond I was in the south boundery. the woman ask me if my car is green. I said no is pink. this is the 3rd time.”

“Small business needs big help. If not I will close the doors on this one and ask for a hand out. But being a real Australian who has paid tax for over 44 years I will get nothing. Better get a boat and sail into my own country. I have sent this to our PM that the people did not vote in.”

“I got a quote for the purchase and installation from a sales rep from [deleted] heating who came to our house. Mom and I hadn’t decided wether to go ahead or not, so at about 4pm the rep left us a quote and told me there was limited time to qualify for at tv special. After he left I spoke to mum and tried to convince her to buy it as this winter was really cold and we need it.”

“I have been trying to get the Government to explain why I was denied competent medical treatment but ordered to attend both highly physical and mental courses which I passed when an inquiry was conducted it stated that I was mentally unfit for service in the army.”

“Even in Bangladesh there doing this treatment but in Australia they won’t! Because they want the whole cycle of doctors and surgeons making money. If you have a Buldging disc in your cervical/lumbar spine you don’t need a discectomy like the a*seholes out there are making you believe. This is a 45min procedure that a Dr. developed years ago.”

“The recommendation that DHS has given my daughter, who has recently seperated from her husband, is that 7month old [deleted] is to be with his mother [deleted] for 1 week then the next week go to his fathers for 1 week.”

“Our car rolled on the street last year and as a result my darling husband of 40years is now a quadraplegic and is wheelchair bound.”

“A beautiful man has been cut down at the age of 89, sitting innocently at his daughters house babysitting a dog. Sitting there, 4 thugs decided to break into the house and randomly attack a man, who is totally defenseless.”

“Had the same thing happen to me 2 months ago and we were staying at [deleted],Got told to go to my room as i was drunk, i was not but did have no option they had made their decision.”

“Forest Lake shopping center has held Sunday Markets for over 14 years or longer,now new comers Westfarmers, have decided to close the markets down.”

“I was watching your show with Coen and I was wondering if there is a way to get in touch with his parents. I am a healer and a Reiki practitioner and would like to offer my services free of charge.”
