I am writing to you today to i...Dear Mr. Costner, <br /><br />I am writing to you today to inform you that you are in violation of our supplier agreement (section cited below) and thus liable for damages. Although technically we have never done business before and one might assume that said agreement does not apply to you, please be aware that this is an offer you cannot refuse, and the appropriate equine parts should be delivered to your place of nocturnal rest shortly. Should these not arrive in due course, please contact our customer service department, and we shall endeavor to remedy the situation expeditiously.<br /><br />As you seem to consider yourself a hot shit writer, we at thepigturd hereby assign you to rewrite the service agreement which you have violated (see the relevant clause below) and do so in 300 words or less. <br /><br />This is actually a test copywriting assignment for which we are not obligated to pay. However this job is subject to the terms of rate reduction effective on 18 July 2013, and 15% of what you would have invoiced will be deducted from the compensation for this job, and the balance will be due and payable by you upon delivery.<br /><br />Respectfully Yours,<br /><br />Lardy Gold<br />Chief Executing Officer<br />thepigturd Unlimited and Omnipotent<br /><br />P.S. Oh yes, I almost forgot... the section of our non-agreement which you have violated is as follows:<br /><br /><b>6.14 For the duration of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, you agree that you shall not publish or participate in any online or print media in which the content is abusive and/or defamatory and/or a <i>parody</i> of us and/or our officers and/or our employees and /or their families and/or in which you impersonate us and/or our officers and/or our employees and/or their families. </b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
