Dear Mr. "Wise",

Thank you for your interest in our company. Unfortunately we will not be able to quote you this product because you are clearly fraud. However, rather than leave you completely empty-handed, here are some helpful tips to make sure this doesn't happen to you again:

- The well-known institution of learning you refer to is actually "Harvard" not Havard.
- If you're going to claim to be in Cambridge, MA, it might be a good idea to get a Cambridge, MA phone number. Harvard does not have procurement offices in Seattle (although, true, Havard might). The area code is 617 according to the real R**** Wise.
- Start small and work up to the big order. 300 ink cartridges -- what a give-away.
- You might want to consider saying you're from MIT. It's easier to spell right the first time and companies may overlook the grammar mistakes with the idea that MIT people have to get their heads around bigger problems than simple punctuation.

Good luck in your endeavors. Don't contact us again or we'll set the dogs on you.

Sincerely,
L'il Hateful

P.S. Honey, we all want someone who "will always supply and satisfy our basic needs" but you won't find them by email (although a lot of them will take you up on a relationship based on a "prompt payment method").
