One of my NotFavorites is the ploy where the sender attempts to dress up his envelope dog with markings that imply that the contents are registered or derive from a governmental agency.

I do also get very irritated with solicitations that include products such as mailing labels with my name on them. If it's a worthy cause, I wonder why they are spending their donations on "gifts" rather than the actual help/research/whatever. I recognize that they are trying to guilt the receiver into sending *something,* but it doesn't work with me; how many people who donate to the cause expected that their donations would go to hire companies to plan a direct mail campaign, pay the printing companies to make the labels, etc.
