You missed a letter in the last word on the first line and you misspelled it.
The last word should have been: FKDOOHQJH

And then the solution would be:
"LIFE IS A GIFT, BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST THAT. LIFE IS A CHALLENGE"

I was just browsing your store
FYI, the red banner at the top mentioning closed April 1st is using black text
on a red background, and is fairly difficult to read. I don't know if you
have the option to adjust that background color or text color; but I can imagine
if I had trouble, others will

I think it's those gradient lines in the banner red color that make the text,
what... blurry, I guess.

Just checking if people care about a discout.

It depends. Sometimes with international shipping involved it's just easier
to buy domestically at a slightly higher price, with slightly lower shipping
but getting the package in 3 days instead of 10/14/30...

Just make sure you're covering your costs.

Don't worry about that, most of my stock was bought at about a %65 discount.

Oh farts... You just reminded me that I meant to add a little gift to my 300th
order. Maybe I'll just hold off and save up something good for every 500th.

Might be helpful having a dedicated Forum Topic Charter to follow up on such
email announcements with: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1460563

Just one of several reasons...

Yes, and there are many signs that it's authentic:

- it comes from blservice@bricklink.com
- it is authenticated with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC
- it doesn't link to a login page
- it doesn't ask for your password

I've never heard of a computer's being hacked simply from opening an
email. It's opening attachments, clicking on links, etc. that can cause issues.

I think it’s real for starters there are no links
But be careful it may be a attempt by the scammers to catch us off guard will
a more genuine looking email address.

Yes, mine was from blservice@bricklink.com, warning about the phishing email.
Reminding to be careful.

---Katrina

Same over here. Plus (tho I may be mistaken) in general simply opening an email
dosnt expose you to danger but only if you open a link or download a file that
does so it’s best to open the email and check the sender and if it’s from “@bricklink.com”
exactly with no weird spelling or ending or anything then it’s real

Correct, just reading the email will not cause harm the opening of links in an
email is what will open a person up to harmful malware, Trojans, viruses and
such.
