Just got the same email, I think there's something odd with the HTML because it's meant to be an image but it seems to be broken. The text itself reads:
Quote:
Becoming Familiar with Chthon, We've been watching you, quietly, from the shadows. As you drive home at the end of the day. As you walk home from dinner or drinks with friends. As you stare out into the black of night before sleep, wondering what greater part you might play. You stumble through the pieces of your life and we're there bearing witness to your slow, slow death. Your life is just a trickle of defeat, occasionally wrapped in paper-thin moments of happiness. And all for what? You were right to come looking for us. Chthon would like you to consider joining us as a familiar. It is an old and cherished position within our world. Even the word 'familiar' has a ring of intimacy, confidence and affection. It is your first step into our world and it is a test. As a familiar you will be expected to listen, to learn and to obey. We may ask you to do things on our behalf. Some tasks may seem mundane or even strange. Others may strain your loyalties, your moralities - the very core of what you think it means to be a good and proper human animal. Being a familiar is about asking yourself if you're ready to acquiesce to a greater power. It is not right for everyone, but if you prove yourself worthy, you will be marked as one of us so that others will know where your heart lies. As always, discretion and secrecy are necessary. Speak to no one of your new purpose. I look forward to further contact with you and continuing these talks. Chase
But there's o's in little black boxes sprinkled at random intervals throughout the email, I'm not sure if that's a puzzle or what. Did anyone with correct HTML get the email?

Ooh, that's way prettier. And I figured out how to make the image show up and it doesn't include the circle things when I highlight it or anything, so I guess it's nothing important.
Replied to him thanking him for his interest in me and saying I wouldn't disappoint him with whatever I was asked to do. Time will tell, now.

Heh. One possible word for the code at the bottom is UNAWAKED.
But it's more likely something like PROMOTED or SURPRISE.
Personally, I'm UNAMAZED and hope it doesn't get too CRIMINAL.
It's all very DRAMATIC.
Guess we got letters due to our APTITUDE.

Got the email, I'm going to reply just in case.
EDIT: Strike that, it says at the bottom not to.

Got the same E-mail last night but was wrapped up in something else. Also wanted to see if anyone else got it. Haven't replied but was seriously tempted to. Anyone got anymore news?

Got the email. Apparently the vampires haven't been watching me close enough to know that I use public transportation.

Wait until we get some sort of "task" from Chase in another email. There's no point in trying to reply to the email, as the emails sent out to everyone were automated [and the same] and probably no one is monitoring the inbox.
Just wait for the next email.
