Mistaken Identity

I received the following email today:

Hi Tracy Wood,
My name is Tracy Wood! No, this is not a joke or SPAM. As you can see, my email address is only one letter different from yours. I'm writing to tell you that I have TONS of emails sent to me that were meant for YOU!Since I have not checked this email account since literally 2006, I'm only just finding these "lost" emails today. Sooo, have you experienced anyone saying "I emailed that to you, did you get it?" Now you know why! Well, I'm very sorry for this inconvenience. If you'd like me to forward any messages to you, I'd be happy to. Incidentally, I'm just curious, whereabouts do you live? I'm just outside Washington, DC.
Best, Tracy

I wonder what emails are awaiting me and how she figured out they were meant for me. Our email address is off by one letter, my middle initial. I'm sure there are quite a few variations of my name used in said email address. Should be interesting to read the emails she forwards to me since some of them are from 2006. If you sent me an email and I didn't respond, now you know why! My email address is my first name, middle initial, last name (at) gmail (dot) com. The middle initial is very important, people. :-)
