Hee hee hee... Our resident

Hee hee hee... Our resident creative genius had done a little bit of freelance work making art for some role-playing game company. Turns out some of his stuff was a little late in making it to them, so he apologized for missing the deadline. They responded, and here is his reply to their response:

>Mr. Ferguson,

>At this stage you were already substantially late and another day is a moot
>point. Just do your best work.  Xxx and I will be making final approvals on
>your work.  If you have any further questions or comments, please do not
>contact me, forward them directly to Xxx as he selected you to
>work on this project.  I will notify Xxx when your art work arrives and at
>that point I will review it for approval along with Mr. Xxxxxxxxx.

yikes.  i guess you got up on the wrong side of the bed today.  I also have 
not heard from you since the initial phone call.  (which was a strange call 
to say the least)  both you and xxx seemed overly paranoid about shit like 
who I was and who I knew and why I was talking to you.  xxx was having me 
answer questions about my past which he knew the answers to.  at one point i 
belive he wanted me to take a lie detector test.  (just joking)
    anyway.  i talked to your wife (I'm assuming it's your wife although i 
can't be sure that she is your wife since I have never seen documentation to 
prove this fact) and she seemed very nice.  i was calling you to apologize 
for my tardiness and while I had her on the line I asked her a few questions 
to make sure I wasn't screwing up your whole deadline (which a man as 
obviously businessmanlike as yourself would definitely have built in a little 
safety zone of a few weeks (another assumption)).
    i understand your anger so as a token of my appreciation for being 
allowed to contribute to your wonderful game why don't you keep $50 of the 
remaining $150 and get yourself some medication.


>This is the following address that you need to FedEx and/or UPS insured.  Xx
>Xxxxx Xx., XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX  XXXXX

I prefer to do things electronically.  So I will email you the finals at this 
email address.

p.s.  I am copying my brother austin on this email since he finds you role 
playing people amusing.  please cc him on any responses to save me the 
trouble of forwarding.
