A Somewhat Disturbing Mystery

As well as being a mystery it also stirs up my curiosity in all directions, most annoying or even worrying part is that after turning it over and over all last night, I still can't come up with a likely explanation. I think I better start from the beginning.

I received a letter by post (all my friends send email) yesterday. From the sender's corner on the envelope I already thought it's strange: of a restaurant I have only been about a dozen times in about 2 years. What's more strange, my name MoiMoii, (correctly written; most people, including web friends for years, would either use one 'i' only at the end, or write it as Moi Moi or Moi Moii), so it's not a publicity flyer type mail.

The contents surprised me even further, congratulating my forthcoming birthday (on the Date section) sending me a gift of €10., cheque valid throughout the month of March. My suspicion arose when I know for sure I have never paid a bill there by card or cash, never signed anything, all visits were as invited guest. Nor have I told anybody there my name, my home address, much less my birthday date. I asked my friends who had invited me, and none of them had received such a gift nor even heard of such a practice. How on earth they know all there is to know connected with my identity? Even my Internet contacts, nobody had been told my home address, and very few knows about or bothers to find out my birthday.

The restaurant is called (Wok You), in Figueras, my nearest town. Part of an international chain of restaurants, all called 'Wok' something. This one has been opened merely 2 years ago and the others in Spain are spread out in many big cities and towns.

Should I do something? What? Go again sometime and ask? Ask whom? Spend it there? Ignore it? Write to the establishment? Where? Which one? Complaint or Thank them?
