To Whom It May Concern,
I have recently read a story on the BBC involving an Australian couple finding whale vomit that was reportedly worth $295,000 (£165,300). Inspired by this article, I have started my own business exploring beyond strictly the belly of the whale, involving the trading and marketing of animal vomit which is used in other lesser-known perfumes. I am contacting you because of the blatant disregard for the services I have been offering you people for the past 3 months.
On April 12, 2006 I sent an email inquiring about the nature of your business, and to the extent of your dealings with smaller companies such as my own. I had offered free samples of several of my perfumes including:
1) "Odeur De Chameau" - Using a unique blend of water found in the rare Sahara Euphorbia (the equivalent of the North American Cacti) and camel vomit, we have created a solution that will whisk your mind away to the afterlife where you are surrounded by the scent of 70 virgins.
2) "La Chupacabra" - This scent will surround you with an air of mystery, using the oils from the Blue Agave (a South American plant used in the production of Tequila) and what we believe to be authentic Chupacabra vomit.
3) "Sex Panther" - You ever see Anchorman? Yo.
We have developed a wide range of selections, and I feel that it would be in both our interests to work together. PLEASE respond ASAP.
I am looking forward to your favorable reply.
