Shannon (the secretary)
has lost her cat and has asked David (the graphic designer) to help with a lost
poster. This is their email correspondence...

Hi
I opened
the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so
I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to
be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this
afternoon.


This is the
only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white
and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone
number.
Thanks Shan.

Re: Poster

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have
two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop
everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of
Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the
negative space.

Thats just stupid. Can you do it properly please?
I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. you seem to
think it is funny. Can you make the photo bigger please and fix the text and do
it in colour please. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now,
I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we
do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how
to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have
amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards,
David.

This is worse than
the other one. can you make it so it shows the whole photo of Missy and delete
the stupid text that says missing missy off it? I just want it to say
Lost.

yeah can
you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the
telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie
poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I
would help you. Thanks.

Dear
Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I
once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off
at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the
amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

Regards, David.

I know,
but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent
ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls
and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one
with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline
and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
Regards, David.

I didnt say there was a

from that it is perfect can you please remove the reward bit. Thanks
Shan.

have to make photocopies of it.
