"we have an unusual, prospective target of opportunity that may require some near term action. This is all confidential and prospective at this point.
...To exploit this opportunity, we need a simple landing page/site designed, tested and ready for a potential huge surge in traffic by November 16th.Although we would only start off with limited content and functionality, this landing page would replace the existing site and set the stage for future design/development of the new site. Roughly, we would want basic ______ branding and descriptive information (including the space flight contest), simple placement of existing sponsors and, most importantly, the ability to capture contact info so we can notify folks about future opportunities relevant to the contest and the ______.
Would you consider jumping in and creating the landing page/site for November 16th? We can offer reasonable limited compensation. The RFP process for the overall ______ site would continue after we have the November 16th opportunity covered. Please let me know your thoughts on this as soon as you can. Thanks."

I didn't catch anything wrong so far. Really comes down to how much they are looking to pay.

Opening line is my favorite: "prospective target of opportunity may require some near term action."
Near term. That's amazing wording for, hurry up and crank it out.

I've never heard clients referred to as "Targets of Opportunity".
Was this person in the military?

I got an email from a "pharmacy" promising cheap viagra that would "make my term like iron." "Might require some near term action" is probably a nice way of saying you'll have to get on your knees to get the job.
