This part is highly suspect. I think this is the ruse to make you attend.
Why such drastic measures?

Plus if it is real, why use a screen name and not a real name?

Wouldn't they include a phone number that you could contact them at? And, where is the big company name? I mean, there is a lot of a good things happening there. Costume from Worf, meet Patrick and William...sounds like it is a little too good to be true...

The entire message sounds just like those dot com companies that frequently spoil my e-mail account with messages like:
"You have been the lucky one selected out of three million persons to win $4,232,573,677,246,844,746,832!!! You only have to answer one simple question: How to you spell DECEPTION? If you answer the question correctly, you're a rich man!"
OK, this is fictional. But I think it's spam mail.

Even the email address seems fake: [email protected] That web address doesn't exist, and the Fan Club doesn't have it's own page, really.

Ah....this in just last night....joke by my friends. I was wondering why I couldn't email the place. I don't really care, seeing as I don't really like ST much anymore and I haven't watched an episode since Equinox I.
