Email newsletters is one of the most effective way to execute your marketing campaigns by reaching out directly to your subscribers who are basically your customers, readers, fans/followers or prospects.

Sometimes plain randomness is not enough, we want random results that are biased or based on some probability. This is where a simple weighted random generation algorithm can be used.
