My snarky public response to an untargeted solicitation

Hi,

(Well hi there.)

My name is [NAME WITHHELD] and I’m a regular reader of filmfodder.com.

(Thanks. And sorry about the lack of updates on that site.)

I’d like to thank you for the excellent information I’ve found on filmfodder.com; it’s always a great pleasure to read your articles and I have subsequently become a loyal reader.

(I didn’t realize archived content could yield “loyal readers,” but if that’s what floats your boat …)

I live in Greenville, NC where I try to increase the awareness about financial advisory amongst my family and friends.

(Is that a big problem in Greenville?)

It occurred to me that you might be interested in including a guest article on filmfodder.com to help people recognize the top 10 mistakes made by financial advisors. For example, I could provide an article in the form of a little guide to help your readers learn more about the issue – hopefully, this would spark a discussion about the topic at hand.

(Awesome idea. I’m sure my non-readers would enjoy an irrelevant post about a topic they care little about. If that’s not a slam dunk, I don’t know what is.)

Please, take a minute to consider this proposal. Any support would be much appreciated.

(I’m a giver, so I mulled it for 2 minutes. Sadly, you’ll be disappointed with my answer.)

With your help, we can educate the public about the mistakes of financial advisors and hopefully help someone avoid them.

(Like superheroes! We’ll be Suze Orman in capes!)

Either way, thanks for reading and keep posting your excellent information on filmfodder.com.

(I will absolutely continue to not post anything to Filmfodder.)

I hope you have a good week.

(And I hope you have a tremendous decade.)

Kind Regards,

[NAME WITHHELD]
