If you need to send out 200 personalized letters to sales leads but haven’t got the time to handwrite them yourself — or if your handwriting is, like mine, grotesque — then Maillift will generate them for you, using teams of genuinely carbon-based people.

That's horrible! I don't mind getting a printed letter but if I got a handwritten letter that I later found out was faked I would never, ever do business with that person again. Doing this means the very first step in an attempt to form a business relationship is an act of deception.

This is of course a classic submarine story: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Every time I feel like I have come to terms with marketing people as economic actors they manage to plumb some new nadir.
