The man who wrote "forwards"
Tomek had a strange profession. He wrote "forwards". Of course they weren't forwards when he originally wrote them.
You must have come across a zillion email forwards until now. Bored friends stuck in offices, lovelorn gf/bfs with nothing better to do, over-zealous ex-colleagues, even spouses and relatives who want to keep in touch, forward you these little time-waster every day. Silly jokes, inspirational stories, tacky graphics and pictures, riddles, appeals for monetary help...anything goes.Some times you open them and take a look, other times simply delete them. But ever wonder where these forwards originated from or who wrote them? Possibly you'll never know, because an average forward has been forwarded so many times before it reaches you, that the original sender's email ID is truncated long back. And anyways the ID would be fake.These forwards are written by the likes of Tomek, though such people are very few. Tomek's "profession", like that of extortionist, shooter, hackers, and blackmailers, falls in the "gray" area. Still Tomek considered himself sort of an "artist". After all, it does take a vivid imagination to write the silliest of joke, doctor an image, or put together an inspiration story.When he's done writing his forwards, he emails them to an address that is an alias to a notorious worldwide mailing list of hackers and malware distributors. In the second phase of the journey, the hackers and malware distributors add their own "wares", which piggy-back Tomek's works to reach your inbox.
