Dear
Reevoo/Currys,
Thank
you for the offer of work. I am
interested.
The
time has come to discuss the ugly matter of money; alas, like everyone else, I
cannot work for free. This is the world
in which we live.
As
a self-employed musician and performer, I usually ask for around £200 per hour,
with 1 hour being the minimum charge.
However, for a writing/research assignment such as this, I would
consider a flat fee, if that is more appropriate. I have undertaken many writing assignments,
but as you will appreciate, charges vary greatly based on time and other
particulars.
Taking into account the thorough research and writing time required for this brief, I suggest £500, based on the above pricing structure.

So,
let’s negotiate. I look forward to
working with you.
Yours
in anticipation,

Dear Reevoo
Support team,
Thank you for
your e-mail. As this appears to be an
automatic reply, I am copying my original e-mail below.
However,
having followed the link to Terms & Conditions in your e-mail below, there
appears to be no information on invoicing.
Naturally, I cannot recommend a product without conducting all the
necessary research; therefore, I am reluctant to click Yes or No.
Also, as you will appreciate,
there is no question of undertaking work without first establishing the
necessary contractual arrangements. As
professional people representing a reputable company, I feel sure you will
understand.
I am sure
this is a mere oversight on your part.
We are all busy people these days, aren’t we? It happens to the best of us!
Below is the
e-mail I sent earlier today.
Warm Regards,
Clayton

Dear Reevoo/Currys,
Thank you for your latest e-mail.
I am happy to discuss working with you,
but it seems that we’re going in circles on this.
To clarify: I have replied to
your kind offer of a contract for my services to affirm my interest and begin
negotiations on rates and terms. I await your response.
I confess that your PS confuses me, as
it sounds like an ultimatum. However, you are yet to issue a contract or
any offer of remuneration; at the risk of being repetitive, we must first
establish at least the general terms of a contract before I can undertake the
work you require.
I had assumed good faith on your part,
since you took the time to contact me directly; I hope I am not labouring under
a misapprehension.
If, however, I have misunderstood your
intentions, I apologise for the confusion and wish you well with your
project/s. If I may make so bold as to offer some unsolicited, unpaid feedback,
you may wish to consider amending such communications in the future.
Perhaps you could include somewhere in the body text of your e-mail a note that
while you do value the opinions or writing of “customers” like me (which,
please let me assure you, is beyond doubt), you do not value their time or
thoughts enough to pay for them, and that you are recruiting voluntary labour,
despite being a major retailer with pre-tax profits of over £400,000,000,
according to some media reports. (Or a “user-generated content platform”
worth around £1,500,000, with assets of over £5,000,000 – I realise, as I
write, that I am no longer sure whom I am addressing, since your latest e-mail
is signed by you both. Perhaps you have the kind of friendly arrangement
between yourselves that transcends the necessity for any vulgar discussion of
money. Perhaps you even find such considerations gauche, given that your
relationship is so close you can sign off on emails using your names
interchangeably. If so, I can only admire your close friendship and the
trust it has engendered – and envy your disregard for monetary gain. I
myself have a philosophical approach to financial matters: like all real
artists, I simply don’t care about money; sadly, however, my landlord,
the council, HMRC, utility companies, phone and broadband providers,
supermarkets, rail and bus companies, clothes retailers, insurance providers,
my local food shops and publicans take a markedly different view. The
bastards. If only everyone was as progressive as Currys [sic] PC
World. What a wonderful world that would be.)
With the hope of building a world based
on the values you have modelled, I remain:
Yours,
Clayton Blizzard
