Strange email requests..

[Phill Fenton]

Unfortunately we all have to put up with w***ers Brian – I wouldn’t let it bother you. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I would take a picture of my bum and send it back with the caption
JUSTIFY THIS, BABY!
(hot)
Love….Jill

[Harry Cleary]

whats your email address Jill? 😀 😀 😳 😳

[John Singh]

Justify according to one definition:

transitive verb
1 a: to prove or show to be just, right, or reasonable b (1): to show to have had a sufficient legal reason (2): to qualify (oneself) as a surety by taking oath to the ownership of sufficient property
2 archaic : to administer justice to archaic : absolve c: to judge, regard, or treat as righteous and worthy of salvation
3 a: to space (as lines of text) so that the lines come out even at the margin b: to make even by justifying <justified>
intransitive verb
1 a: to show a sufficient lawful reason for an act done b: to qualify as bail or surety
2: to justify lines of text

Be careful Brian
This might end up in the European Courts of Human Rights 🙂

Not bothered at all, just wish I could think up a witty retort. 😀

"How do you jusitfy 99 pounds plus vat"
Answer: By buying one of our superb products

[Harry Cleary]

This one???:D 😀

Why don’t we play horse? I’ll be the head and you just be yourself.

[Karl Williams]

Or you could type back "How do you justify being intelligent sh!t for brains?! 😀

[Jason Xuereb]

Reply with "Ferrari’s aren’t cheap"

[Phill Fenton]

Then again – you could always try taunting him with something like "How else can I pay for my holiday homes abroad and my expensive collection of cars" 😛

[Shane Drew]

The same way you could justify making a living – life is better with it than without it.

[Kevin Flowers]

because i have to waste so much time responding to emails from time wasters, like yourselves

[John Childs]

I occasionally get asked why something costs what it does and, to avoid antagonising a potential customer, I explain that it is the quality of materials and the time it takes us to do the job properly. So, in your case, to avoid losing a potential sale, I’d reply that the price is justified by the amount of work that goes into producing your product.

[Brian Maher]

just ignore it brian, we all get these twats from time to time,

really like harry’s one tho’…its a classic.

Actually John makes a lot of sense. (again) I’d treat the customer in a civil tone as you can not be sure who he/she actually is and he/she may end up being a good customer.

my best customer for many years was a man of few words. His email skills were atrocious, but he was a very good client until he retired.

None of us are doing that well that we can really afford to alienate ourselves from a potential client. Of course, you should consider that they may also be a referral, or may refer you to others if they buy something from you.

[Brian Hays]

Sorry couldn’t go your way John. Must suffer from some sort of email Tourettes syndrome :lol1: Shame I couldn’t use all the suggestions! Harry’s suggestion is good but it would involve Mr. Anonymous having his head somewhere near my backside? :lol1:

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I agree, Shane.
But it would still be a moment of fun to reply with a snappy answer.

Ooops too late Shane. Just waiting for him to justify some of his prices from by Villa in Barbados. 😎

[Jayne Marsh]

I agree with John and Shane on this one just answer the question politely and leave it at that. No need to get naggy, some people just aren’t good at expressing themselves by email, I have a few clients who simply give me 3 or 4 word emails and dont mean to be offensive by it. 😀
