Another day, another errant email...

For this story, we go across the pond to London where a senior associate at a law American law firm asked his admin for 4 pounds to pay for a tomato stain on his pants. If only it were so simple. Her response:

"With reference to the email below, I must apologise for not getting back to you straight away but due to my mother's sudden illness, death and funeral I have had more pressing issues than your £4.

"I apologise again for accidentally getting a few splashes of ketchup on your trousers. Obviously your financial need as a senior associate is greater than mine as a mere secretary."

That says it all, and now the British press is interested in getting the whole story out, by offering money for a picture of the lawyer. It's the same song, different verse. The link here has links to the Claire Swire, Peter Chung, and Trevor Luxton emails. Since they are kinda racy -- each of them -- I'm going to avoid the direct link. Thanks for understanding.
