I have friend with the same problem.
He has the email address j[lastname]@gmail.com and gets Jessica [lastname]'s email all the time. It drives him nuts. He got her physical mail address from her Amazon account and mailed her a letter. Things have slowed down since then.
Same thing happens to me. I am a[lastname]@gmail.com and I continually get Anne [lastname]'s e-mail.
It slowed down a bit after she signed my E-mail up for her automated banking alerts and I sent her information about her balance (the bank was sending me E-mails with account balances in them, I did not log into any of her banking accounts) and told her to stop using my E-mail address.
Then about 2 months later it started up again and didn't slow until her boss E-mailed me and I sent him back a letter suggesting that he hire people who were smart enough to give out their correct E-mail addresses after 3 years of my sending her messages telling her to stop giving out my E-mail as hers.
The worst part was that it took about 3 months to get this woman's grandmother to believe that I wasn't this "Anne" person. I must've sent a dozen E-mails back to this old woman explaining that I wasn't her grand daughter. I eventually lost it and sent back an expletive-laden E-mail. Got an E-mail back from Anne's mother or aunt scolding me for making the grandmother cry. I told her that if she was too stupid to figure it out after months of polite E-mails, she deserved to cry. Never got another E-mail from grandma or the mother/aunt/whatever.
