I just wish these idiots would spend some of their loot on Engrish ressons. 5 years ago the butchered English was funny. Now it's just pathetic.

that or they learned it from Yoda.....

I don't know Ken - I think they would sucker in a lot more people with good grammar, punctuation and spelling. I hope they don't fix those things - makes these emails easy to just delete on sight.

I got the same email but from a female.

I replied that I don't do business with clients who can't spell photographer.

There's nothing like a rubber check until it starts slapping you in the face on your favorite bank's counter. And after you have wired them the remaining sum to cover their end of the expenses...likely taking place in Canada.;)
