Most of us have by now received an MPC marketing email signed by The Messenger. Who is thy mysterious figure stepping out from the shadows? Is he or she responsible for the hidden messages we're finding in Curios & Conundrums? Was there a reason we were given a link to the MPC Facebook page?
What are your ideas?

More specifically, they refer to themselves as The Messenger at the Facebook Page of the Mysterious Package Company, so the most obvious answer would be that they are the person entrusted with running the Facebook Page on behalf of the Company. Perhaps someone who is no longer satisfied with acting as a mere Messenger to The Curator and his Coterie?

No such email for me. Can someone post a copy for those of us did not receive?

Can't easily post the picture of The Messenger's signature, which is very different looking than The Curator's, but here's the text of the e-mail, which is mostly an ad for the Surprise Me! option in the store (there's also a link to the Facebook page in the line below the signature:
The unexpected is often right under our noses. Take, for example, the surprise party. Loved ones spend weeks in the act of domestic espionage. Secrets passed as we listen and calls taken as we’re in the room observing. Even the slyest of us will miss the clues that, in hindsight, we saw the entire time.
This is the purpose of our Surprise Me! Experience. Whether it is for you, or to surprise a loved one, we ask that you put your faith in us and we will choose from a collection of our finest experiences – The Lost Treasure of John Augur, The King in Yellow, Risen!, Tempus Fugit and The Century Beast. Anyone, including the most fanatic Mysterious Package Company members, will not know what is coming until that first letter arrives.
Sometimes, even when you think you are in the know, you aren't. For example, the Curator does not know that I am writing the Surprise Me! missive this week as a surprise for him. But I bet you saw my clues, didn't you?
When you are around someone long enough, it is like espionage. I observe the way the Curator speaks and writes in plain sight. I learn their mannerisms as they watch me watching them. Even the most intelligent person will miss the clues that, in hindsight, they had been reading the entire time.
Surprise.
… now, I’d better send this before he notices I’m in here…
The Messenger

This e-mail I think was sent to all subscribers, but I just noticed something intriguing about it. Typically, the promotional messages come from The Curator, so curator@mysteriouspackage.com, but this particular one, along with several other recent promotional e-mails, came from the Concierge, so concierge@mysteriouspackage.com. The Concierge is also the e-mail they use for people to send them inquiries. Is it possible that you would only get some promotional e-mails if you've sent messages to Member Services in the past?

Don't think that's it - I've never emailed the Concierge, but I did get the Messenger email.
