Maybe I got out of bed on the wrong side...
Discussion
It's not like me to rant but a bulls
t marketing company sent me an e-mail over night asking me to buy some e-mail lists..... God I'm in a bad mood this morning...here's my response...
Rick,
I’m afraid you’ve kicked this off completely on the wrong foot… how on earth can you write to discuss? Normally people call or initiate a verbal conversation to discuss, you may write to “draw something to my attention” or to “highlight” something but to discuss? Secondly, your list of users clearly demonstrates a complete lack of understanding for our typical prospect/customer, do you do research? Clearly not, I suggest you start. To claim an ROI within weeks with a set of lists that are so far removed from our typical customers is laughable…
Rick I won’t go into the appalling layout of your e-mail, the ridiculous request we might have a conference call and end up doing business with one another, to be honest Gordon Brown has a better chance of being re-elected than you and I ever doing business together (if you don’t know who Gordon Brown is I suggest you open an international newspaper or maybe read CNN because he’s in Washington this week chumming it up with Barack).….
Please remove me from your mailing list ASAP and never contact me again.
Kind Regards
Morgan

What a hopeless rant against nothing.
Why don't you write back castigating the people who sell such items as "herbal Vi4gra". It would certainly be more fun if they had stranger names rather than the plain old "Rik". Only this morning I've been asked if I'd like to buy fake, sorry, replica handbags by Latasha Zavala. Then Isiah Ferguson kindly wrote to tell me "You will be mega cool if you get a bigger tool. Your super mega beast will grow like on yeast", similarly Ignatio Acosta advises "Do you love to hear her screaming in pleasure? Hurry to come!"
That is as maybe, but do I get upset by their rudeness and poor use of english? I do not.
