C’s very candid reply on behalf of To:
Dear ZY, greetings to you too. thank you for initiating contact.
I'm the marketing executive handling all social media related platforms. I just found out that I'm pregnant and also, I'm not gonna get a promotion this year.
I have been to your blog and seen your photos there. Unfortunately, my computer crashed the moment your photos start to load and sadly, you must have missed a hit to your site visits due to this.
I currently moonlight, with great expertise in Photoshop and I could help edit your photos at a friendly rate of 4 bucks a photo. Because I'm pregnant now and I need the money, I could give you a ten percent off
Please feel free to let me try my professional Photoshop skills on your photos too
Thank you
