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.

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.

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.

I
understand and will definitely make a payment this week if I remember.
As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return
the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I
could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever,
waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.
Regards, David.
