The more that the standard conventions of written English
are avoided, the more difficult it is to read (or decode)
the message.  If I had only a few messages per day I
wouldn't care quite so much, but just this morning I had 113
messages waiting.  I suggest

    Included, all will find a text copy of the ad for Elfsea
    Spring Faire.  Come join us!

You'd better check your mailer, as that doesn't look like
text to me!  (Unless I'm supposed to unfocus my eyes to see
a 3D pattern?)  I have the uudecode program, which can
decode such text, and I reproduce it here (with carriage
returns removed and long lines broken):
