What do WEM's look like?

Hello all,

just after some information as to what WEM's look like. Does it say congratulations or you've won in the subject or is that in the main part of the email? Thanks for your help.

    They all vary.

    Some say congratulations in the subject, but others might just say the name of the comp you entered. Sometimes they're even less obvious.

    Most of mine have said congrats in the subject though. :)

    I think most seem to make it obvious in the title, and certainly in the opening bit of the email itself. However, I have heard of winners who found out too late that they'd won a prize. They had been sent a WEM and had to scroll down and hunt out the relevant bit, which is why they missed it. Or sometimes you get sent a newsletter which tells you the winners. Most of these will send a separate email to the winner, but I bet some don't.

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    I got one this week that said Gift To You as the title, given the number of companies that spam with offers with the same title it is one that would usually have got deleted.
    Fortunately I was expecting an email from the company in regards to a Twitter win, otherwise it would also have been deleted! It was an evoucher for Amazon but would not have opened it if I had not been expecting anything from that particular company.
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
