The most curious email ever

[susandennis]

This just came in - addressed specifically to my correct email address (I get email from several faux addresses so I always look at the specific headers of strange emails...)

Dear Susan,
I am interested in getting a quote regarding a project we are doing.
It is a 55,000 square foot commercial building. It is tilt-wall panel all around except for the front, which is E.I.F.S. with a storefront facade and a couple of awnings and several wall sconces.
It also has a cornice finish.
Please give me a price quote of a JPG rendering of a perspective view of the front of the building with some landscaping, cars, people, dimensions (heights) and some typical notes.
If you can give me some other quotes typical of the work you do, that would be even better, as I would have a full spectrum of prices from which to decide.

Thank you very much for your attention.
Sincerely,

Andres Quijano

You talk about a head scratcher. How in the world did he come across my address for such a specific request? I can render squat much less people, landscaping, etc. Poor guy - there he was nestled in between the offers to make me hard for my woman. I sent him a reply - wonder if he'll clear up the mystery?

If I were you I would go for it. We all need a little extra income on the side, don't we.

I'm sure there are books you could read up on about it. Failing that, just fake it . . .

I did consider sending him a quote - something like 'damn the torpedos...'

OK, here's my theory:

He's seen you taking all those pics on your walks and has mistaken your occupation?

Oh man I want to know how this is going to turn out!

Much more mysterious than the email I got from Starbucks corp headquarters regarding a job I never applied for. Although it would mean we could go for walks together and I could be your personal chef!

Now, see? How cool would that be??? You as my personal chef and walkign buddy! I'd knit you stuff. Take the job!!!!

You know, if I had the guts and the stamina, I would try being a personal chef. Every now and then they do a story on one and i think WOW what a great job.

Peehaps I should try doing it on the side.
