First of all I'm not gonna ask you anything about child pornography. I'm sending you this mail to ask about your products...

I do enjoy the products you have to offer. I want order some of them but first, you must guarantee me privacity. So as to know more about your products, I want to order the Complete Color Catalog (160 pages) first. If you guarantee that I'm gonna recieve it in my house in a covered and closed packing whitout any information about it, I'll take it. I need this condition because I work all day long and don't live alone. So, probabily another person will recieve it for me. I have a credit card (VISA). After that, I'll buy the other stuffs.

Send me a reply. I do got interest. By..... and sorry for the English

PS: I've been getting some material too during this year. If you want some information about it, I can send you. It's not for sale, but we can exchange something (I have some jgp files).

Big Hug for you
Robert.

Subject: One of your subscribers is soliciting child pornography

I received the email below from one of your subscribers. I believe that he is soliciting to buy and sell child pornography. Please take appropriate action.

Why did he contact me? I am a college professor. I have an archive of legal materials related to the internet. One of them is what purports to be an advertisement for child pornography:

Needless to say, the original ad was a fake. I have retained it only for teaching purposes.
