Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a
spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this

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.
Regards, David.

Dear

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.
