Suresh is right, this is a GWF/GWL.  Normal people send abuse reports
with actionable data and a working return address for replies and
questions.

If I got one of those I would be torn between writing back and saying
"If you want a real response, send a real report" and just blackholing
his IP since there is clearly no chance that any useful traffic will
come from it.

R's,
