If I don’t read your e-mail then it’s likely that I got better things to do, I don’t need emotional blackmail on top of it

Subject: That lawnmower you borrowed

Dear sir,

I am SLAMMING you for your delay in returning my lawnmower. Please return today, or you won’t BELIEVE what happens next! 9 out of 10 billionaires don’t WANT you to know!

Sincerely, Your neighbor.
