    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

    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.

    too funny...
