Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider
instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the
matter.
Regards, David.

Subject: Whose spider is that?*
Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you?
This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such
an elementary mistake when I drew it.
Regards, David.

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the
email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the
amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling
through time and will be returning last week.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that
despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I
sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the
drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point
it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending
you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment
for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a
conclusion.
Regards, David.

Dear David, As I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of money
for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque, money order or
cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid incurring any additional
fees.
Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember.
As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the
drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could
provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your
time and then attach such a large amount to it.
Regards, David.
