I just came across this hilarious email chain between a design agency and a 'potential' client. I'm in the client services / web design industry too, and can sympathize with this bloke, and the way he handles the situation is absolutely awesome

I wish I could speak to people like this (but I think my boss would have me for breakfast if I did!)

    Amusingly, my mother printed this out for me Monday morning. So I'm sitting here thinking "what exactly made this rather undistinguished example of a fictitious email chain between contractor and client go viral?" - because honestly, I've seen better. Why is this one tremendously popular this week, while others languish in obscurity?

      I saw this on Stumbleupon, and barely cracked a smile. Maybe because I could relate. Whether it's a legitimate exchange or not doesn't matter all that much to me.

      My guess is its popularity is due to social bookmarking. Perhaps a campaign started by the author. Also, never underestimate the power of the lowest common denmoinator.

      All the best,
      Michael
