Copy These Letters

I don't know if any of you have had this problem or not, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

The other day I received a serious looking email in one of the addresses I use and it said it was very important. Now I don't get a lot of important mail anymore, from anyone so I thought I should take a look. The first thing they wanted me to do was copy the alphabetical letters inscribed above the box. I looked at them straight away and could not figure them out. I turned my monitor sideways thinking perhaps that was the answer but it didn't work. Well, I thought, why not just enter what I think they may be?

I entered what I thought they were and it immediately stated "You have not entered the letters shown above". I thought that they must be joking, no one could read the stuff they sent me.

I tried again, and this time it was a different set of letters. I still could not figure them out so I hit the little box on the right hand lower corner of the instructions that said a voice would give me the letters and I could type them from hearing them. It sounded like a small man, with a big belch trying to recover from locked jaw. The Voice Letters were worse than the printed ones.

I decided that there was little to be gained from the procedure and that if someone really had something to tell me they would do so in normal, properly written, English letters like I learned in grade school. If you get one of these, drop a note and let me know how you deciphered them.
