Very surprised those still exist. It's got to be much more expensive than a bulk email.

Did an elderly person live at your house?

The previous tenant was old-ish but also a lawyer so...

Anyways it was my name on the envelope (but not on the letter). They bought it from some online merchant I suppose.
