Below is the complete email conversation that Adelaide man David

Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a
spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this
settles the matter.

Subject: Whose spider is that?
Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent
you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have
made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.
Regards, David.

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from
the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still
overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon
as possible.
Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling
through time and will be returning last week.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that
despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the
one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you
rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission
but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings.
As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number
of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this
will bring the matter to a conclusion.
Regards, David.

Dear David, As I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of
money for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque,
money order or cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid
incurring any additional fees.

I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I
remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment,
please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly
of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no
value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large
amount to it.
Regards, David.
