re: your bridge

Greetings strange people who have nothing better to than read blogs (are you procrastinating again? That’s okay, who isn’t procrastinating at least SOMETHING? I even procrastinated posting this for goodness sake). I am glad that you are back. If you are just finding this blog, hi. Please don’t run away screaming, I’m nice once you get to know me. Usually.  You are all wonderful people who may wish to go have another eye exam because you may have read this one wrong.

                We at Acme bridge builders would like to thank you for your business. It means a lot that you chose us for such an important project. Unfortunately there has been a slight delay in you project. London Bridge is falling down and has been deemed unsafe by our union. We will resume work as soon as the dust settles and we have the materials to continue construction.
                We apologize for the delay and again, we will resume work as soon as we possibly can.

                What do you mean falling down?!?! I’ve paid you good money to build me a bridge and all I get is “deemed unsafe by our union” and “we need more materials”. Well boohoo for you. I want my bridge and I’m not paying another penny. You can use wood and clay for all I care, just get it done soon. I’ll be coming by soon and I want my bridge finished!

                I’m really not sure you understand how this works. We are paid by the day and we work with materials that you pay for so if you want a bridge at all, I suggest you pay. Our union is reviewing the case as I type this email so unless you provide the materials and fulfil your side of the contract, we can no longer work for you.

                I’m very sorry for my inappropriate response to your previous email, although refusing work may be a tiny over reaction.  Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll be sure to send you iron bars right away. I read on Wikipedia that they’re very strong, so I’m sure that they’ll be exactly what you need. Glad we settled this, when can I expect to walk across my bridge for the first time?

                My client has called me in because you are refusing to fulfil your end of a legal contract in regards to bridge building. Unless you pay the agreed upon amount, my client will disengage himself from the enterprise in which he is currently involved, i.e. the current legal battle in regards to the afore mentioned bridge and contract.
                Thank you for your time

                What?  I just want my bridge built, why are you bringing Star Trek into this? I’m not asking him to build me a bridge out of silver and gold, I just want my bridge built! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!!!!!
                To: myfairlady@emailsite.uk
                From: solicitorserious@lagalsite.co.uk
                My client replies that it is indeed too much to ask and thus must disengage himself from this affair. The remains of your bridge can be found under the Thames and you owe my client a fair amount of money as well. If you refuse to pay my exorbitant fees, my clients owed bill and the hefty pollution charge for all of that clay, wood and iron at the bottom of Thames, legal action will proceed against you. I certainly hope you have enough gold and  silver to cover it.

                Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.
