My step-dads jesty email

[candidrachel]

My step-dad bought himself a p&s last year (the first camera he has ever owned) and has just embraced photography with gusto and just loves taking photos of his holidays. This September they went to Germany for 5 weeks and he shared some of his photos with me when I went and visted my mum and him in the school holidays last week.

Today I get this jokey email:

Dear Mrs.Gingell,This is a sample of my photographic expertise which I enclose for free on this occasion but in future any further requests will incur the appropriate Fee.
You will obviously be aware of the fact that I have a lot more samples of my work which I would be delighted to supply.On request it will be my pleasure to supply my Terms of Reference.
I will await your reply with interest.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Step-Dad,

Thank you for sending a sample of your photographic work. No further samples will be necessary, now or at any point in the future. Apropos of nothing, we think it may be wise that you do not give up your day job.

Yours,

etc etc

Sounds like a hopeful fellow!

Good for him. Hope he enjoys his new found art.

Part 2 (all in tongue in cheek of course)

Dear Mrs. Gingell,I have pleasure in sending you these additional photographs I have taken but feel rather put out that I have as yet had no reply to my previous Email as you have had at least an hour to do so.It may be of course that you would rather not have dealings with me as I am obviously in business also and we would be in competition with each other.
I would have thought that you would at least have afforded me the courtesy of a reply which would have been good Business Practice.This may be too much to expect.Remember that civility costs nothing.

Yours faithfully



(I will get back to him)

I can't believe this.
