Default Dumb people and their email

I got this email today from someone that wanted to buy a part from the company i work with. Mind you that this guy has not purchased anything from this company before.

[QUOTE]Dear Sir,

It is a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country Van with a 3.8 Liter engine. This is a top of the line vehicle with all the bells and whistles and it is called the Limited Edition. The air filter is rectangular in shape, but the picture you are showing when I go to pull it up is round in shape. Boy that makes me feel real confident about purchasing this item and getting it right the first time.

Now what's the problem with your website ? How come you are not showing the right filter ? You show the filter in the overall picture of Air Filters before I input the information to select this vehicle. Damn this makes me mad !

1. Option one, tell him to stick his # 13 up his own ass
2. Option 2, ignore his email
3. Option 3, ignore option 2.

hell no dont ignore that email..
i would send one back to him with some good humor in it..
And then finding something to make him look dumb, then tell him because he wasted your time your going to raise the price another dollar.

And if you give that guy a discount then your just convincing him that talking to you like that works so he will continue to do so, SO DONT

Tell him that the real problem with America is entitlement, not lack of accountability.

Given you reflect the business in this situation, I would ignore sending back an a-hole response.

I'd give him a 10% discount and ship a round filter.

When I started reading this I thought it was an email that I've been getting here through the dealerships email alot. It's "someone" from Nigeria wanting to order a hundred or 2 spark plugs.

Or maybe tell him that the true problem in America is people like him.
