I had something similar, except I recieved Snail Mail spam from another designing company ADDR.Com, They sent me a few calendars and some pens..

I have no idea where they got my name and address from probably the WhoIs, but their marketing dept sucks for missing that..

I've got about 5 of those in last few weeks. And those are only ones that managed to pass filter (i block all emails from ips that are listed in spamcop so i receive only small amount of spam) so i think there might have been more.
