Hello David,

I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

Simon

Dear Simon,

Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.

Regards, David.

It gets even better, read the rest.

An entertaining short sketch with some classic font characterisation on display and more typographic puns than you can shake a stick at.

“Increase your margins that way they’ll think there’s more of us than there really are!”
“Strikethrough“

A brilliant animation entitled ‘Outside the box’ from Joseph Pelling. Oh how it made me chuckle, enjoy.
