Hello David,
I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the
moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to
peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this
week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days?
I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If the deal
goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.
Simon

Dear Simon,
Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed
earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be
delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based
on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached
pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.
Regards, David.

Is that supposed to be a fucking joke? I told you the previous projects did
not go ahead. I invested a lot more time and energy in those projects than
you did. If you put as much energy into the projects as you do being a
dickhead you would be a lot more successful.

Dear Simon,
You are correct and I apologise. Your last project was actually both
commercially viable and original. Unfortunately the part that was
commercially viable was not original, and the part that was original was not
commercially viable.
I would no doubt find your ideas more 'cutting edge' and original if I had
traveled forward in time from the 1950's but as it stands, your ideas for
technology based projects that have already been put into application by
other people several years before you thought of them fail to generate the
enthusiasm they possibly deserve. Having said that though, if I had traveled
forward in time, my time machine would probably put your peer to peer
networking technology to shame as not only would it have commercial
viability, but also an awesome logo and accompanying pie charts.
Regardless, I have, as requested, attached a logo that represents not only
the peer to peer networking project you are currently working on, but
working with you in general.
Regards, David.

You just crossed the line. You have no idea about the potential this project
has. The technology allows users to network peer to peer, add contacts,
share information and is potentially worth many millions of dollars and your
short sightedness just cost you any chance of being involved.

Dear Simon,
So you have invented Twitter. Congratulations. This is where that time
machine would definitely have come in quite handy.
When I was about twelve, I read that time slows down when approaching
the speed of light so I constructed a time machine by securing my father's
portable generator to the back of my mini-bike with rope and attaching the
drive belt to the back wheel. Unfortunately, instead of traveling through time
and finding myself in the future, I traveled about fifty metres along the
footpath at 200mph before finding myself in a bush. When asked by the
nurse filling out the hospital accident report "Cause of accident?" I stated
'time travel attempt' but she wrote down 'stupidity'.
If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back
four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream
packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas.
I would then travel several months back to warn myself against agreeing to
do copious amounts of design work for an old man wielding the business plan
equivalent of a retarded child poking itself in the eye with a spoon, before
finally traveling back to 1982 and explaining to myself the long term
photographic repercussions of going to the hairdresser and asking for a
haircut exactly like Simon LeBon's the day before a large family gathering.
Regards, David.

You really are a fucking idiot and have no idea what you are talking about.
The project I am working on will be more successful than twitter within a
year. When I sell the project for 40 million dollars I will ignore any emails from
you begging to be a part of it and will send you a postcard from my yaght. Ciao.

Anyone else would be able to see the opportunity I am presenting but not
you. You have to be a fucking smart arse about it. All I was asking for was a
logo and a few pie charts which would have taken you a few
fucking hours.

Dear Simon
Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken
me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts.
Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or
website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the
airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living.
Unfortunately though, as your business model consists entirely of "Facebook
is cool, I am going to make a website just like that", this non exchange of
free services has no foundation as you offer nothing of which I wont ask for.
Regards, David.

What the fuck is your point? Are you going to do the logo and charts for me
or not?
