Hello,

Sorry Jack and sorry to the REAL Oliver, hope you didn’t get in to much trouble. Also I Hope you guys have a great time and cheers for the laugh, surprisingly your not the first to get my email wrong. I often get mixed up with a priest called Oliver Coss instead of Cross.

Later,

Oz

P.S. I Googled Jack and see he’s one of the top guys at XXX, fuck there goes my credit rating.

I don’t wont to go in to details just yet but after Googling this guy he’s pretty high up for a large corporation. 

Hi Jack,

You don’t remember? You kicked up quite a stink (sorry for the pun), I thought you would have remembered.

Anyway no worries, I’m sure the others wont mention it at the party. See you Monday at work.

Someone got the wrong email address again, however this time they left all the emails of the colleagues in as well. I got two out of office replies and someone saying count me in, poor Jack.

Hi Jack,

Sorry I won’t be attending, I need not remind you of our last outing when you were so intoxicated you used one of the office bins to defecate in. Quite frankly I and the others found it just too disturbing and although you think we forgot we simply haven’t been able to.

However please pass on my regards to Webb and wish him all the best.

As you might know I often get mistaken with another person called Oliver Coss who’s a priest and on that note I keep getting his mail. I’ve politely told them they have the wrong person but they keep emailing. So now I just reply, here are two I just got recently.

Hello Reverend Adam,

Thank you so much for your blessings and I know everything will run to plan. At exactly 10:30 morning mass I shall sacrifice 25 goats in your name followed by cheese and crackers.

See you there,

I got another direct email today about Christian Life Coaching, to be fair I couldn’t be bothered to do a lengthily reply so I kept it short and to the point.

Dear Dave,

Thank you for your email, take your brain washing and shove it up your arse.

Oliver

Today I got another email from the parish again, only this time inviting me to attend the sixth annual Lecture and Study Day. Also known as “Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ”. Anyway you know the routine.

Dear Reverend Membery,

I would be delighted to attend the sixth annual Lecture and Study Day.
However I was wondering if you can send me some transport, maybe the company limousine? Also a couple of bitches so I can hang out with my wang out.

P.S. Do you mind if my friend John the Rabbi comes along, he’s looking forward to it just as much as me. Attached is a copy of me and John at last year’s conference.

Today I received another email regarding the chuch from a Banks Music Publications, obviously mistaking me with father Coss instead of Oliver Cross. I know there is only one letter difference but for Christ sake this has got to be the 20th email I’ve received. As you might know from reading my blog before I’ve had to take things in to my own hands just to stop this spam.

This time the email wasn’t so obvious but I did a little research and I managed to find what happened. In the original email the requester is searching for the organ sheet music Langlais “Triptyque Gregorien”. I then looked up the company Banks Music Publications, which is a choral sheet music specialist. Anyway you can read the rest for yourself.

Dear Mr Warnes,

Thank you for your reply; unfortunately here at the church we’ve had a change in taste. Can you please let me know if you have the sheet music for Prodigy “Smack My Bitch Up”.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver

Hi,

As some of you might know I constantly receive emails from the Church mistaking me with a clergy man with a similar email. In the past I’ve asked them to stop spamming me but they were disgusted with my language, this time I decided to take a different approach.

Dear Ann,

I reluctantly inform you that I’m being strongly drawn to Mecca and my future in the Church of England is in question.

Please keep this information confidential and we can talk at a later date.

I pray with the aid of Allah I will overcome this.

Yours sincerely,

Father Oliver
