Leto Atreides

One of the things my company does is to give out a monthly free offer. Usually it’s a Christian book or CD that we think people might like. It’s just a nice way of keeping in touch with our donor base. These books aren’t only available to previous donors, but to anyone who asks. However, sending a free book requires taking down your name and address, and in today’s telemarketer sensitive, spam weary world, that can be a touchy issue. People can always request not to be put on our mailing list even though they’ve requested the free offer, but some people are still too afraid to trust us.

Today I saw an order that took the cake: The order was for our most recent offer, and the address was valid. But the name listed was “Leto Atreides”

Leto Atreides happens to be a character in the *Dune* science fiction series.
