Just keep in mind that those emails aren't going to even make it NEAR a top-level executive - they're handled by support staff - and upper management rarely, if ever, listens to support staff. Chances are that you're only going to piss off some under-paid, under-trained monkey that handles only email. Just stating the reality. Now, on the other hand, if you can obtain lists of top-level executives in said company structures, that would be a different story. (Or, if you want to get elaborate, hack their mail server and spam the hell out of the entire staff - but I shan't go there - I've promised to be a nice fella for a while).
