[net.consumers] Curious attention-getter

Today I received an envelope in the mail.  It was a window
envelope, made of brownish-colored paper.  On the front it said:

	RECORDS VERIFICATION DIVISION
	PO BOX 2779
	BOULDER, COLO. 80322

		---------------------
		For business purposes only.
		NOT FOR PERSONAL USE.
		---------------------


	POSTMASTER:
		Do not forward unless addressee
		has filed an authorizing change-
		of address form.  If undeliverable,
		please handle in accordance with
		U.S.P.S. regulations.

	RECIPIENT:
		If address shown above is incorrect or
		if you are moving, please use Form KWN1070
		on back to supply correct address

	Form SNE2211

This text was along the left side of the envelope.  In the center
was a standard sort of window through which my name and address
was showing.  Sure enough, the back contained form KWN1070:

			INSTRUCTIONS
		If address shown on front is incorrect, please
		complete this form and return in special
		envelope enclosed.
			Please print all information.
------------------------------------------------------------------
		FORM KWN1070: Notification of incorrect address
------------------------------------------------------------------


	Mr.
	Ms. ______________________________________________________
	    last name 		first			middle

	Address_____________________________________ Apt._________

	City____________________ State___________ Zip_____________



			IMPORTANT
	If your address is correct as it appears on the front,
	do not file Form KWN1070 above.

		Return enclosed computer document instead.







Before you read any further, think about what you might expect
to find inside this envelope.











(it was a request to renew a magazine subscription)
