Just recieved this gem:
Hello -
I was wondering if you could design a layout for my website about legendary Country singer Dottie West? The website address is: www.dottiewestfanclub.com. I'm actually doing a campaign to get her inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, I already have supporters already but I need a website. I'm also having a Dottie booth to support the campaign at the Warren County Fair in her hometown, to get more petition forms signed. Plus it's getting press.
Dottie was such a wonderful person and since her death she has been forgotton. Now i'm gonna be honest with you. I'm 17 years old and can't afford much. Can you do a layout for me? I would truly appreciate it.
Let me know. I'll look forward for hearing back from you.
Thanks Paul

I am just posting a funny e-mail. Don't you ever get funny requests like this?

hilarious.

yes, and i dont see the humor in it. he has an idea and he also made a honest assesment of himself and you shouldn't shoot him down for it. at least respond and try to work out something, if possible. not saying that you have to take it.

wow. popular guy.
i'm not a fan of the whole "i can't afford good work... but would really like the help" kinda situations.
don't come down on the kid too hard though... I bet that e-mail's been sent around to dozens of people in hopes he gets a bite on the line.
it's tough to be a passionate youngster, and on a bad day even harder to be a talented designer. ;)

An hour later he's goin' on about the 5G's he's got for his trip to Ibiza.
For real?
