To find out about an Amazon customer, the first task is to find their customer ID. To do that, you must know either their name or e-mail address. e-mail addresses are guaranteed to be unique, names are not. So, use the customer's e-mail address if possible. If you don't know it, use their name.
The following request looks up the customer ID for (a fictitious person) Joe Schmo:

<Customer> <CustomerId>A3EXAMPLEX53</CustomerId> <Nickname>SmokinJoe</Nickname> </Customer>
The customer ID provides the input necessary to find out information about Joe.
