Subject: Partnership proposal

Anders Vang Helgesen wrote:

Hi,

First of all - great site you have!

That's a nice start there, Anders, convincing me you're Yoda. Way to get on my good side there, pal.

I am contacting you because I would like to propose a co-operation for our mutual benefit..

Hold up. A co-operation? Do...do words work like that now? So now it's possible to have, like, an insurance or the lucrative? Anders, this will revolutionize the world of business. Call "Forbes!"

Or by "co-operation" do you mean like, a co-op? Like, one of those places where smelly people with unwashed hair try to sell me hummus sandwiches on bread with like, little sprouts in it? And they try to make me drink tea that tastes like grass? Becuase I think I'll just stick to Wendy's, thanks.

I can see that you today offer your users some online flash games, but I can not see that you have a quality multiplayer quiz/trivia game.

Anders, you've done the right thing here. Anyone else who is looking to come to me for a business proposal, please do as Anders here has done and not read my website at all before sending me e-mails about how you can improve its content.

Honestly, I linked a few flash games on other sites in a news post like, a year ago because I couldn't think of anything else to post one night, and now this guy suddenly wants to offer me a "quality multiplayer quiz/trivia game." What a perfect complement that would be to a site that specializes in humor about horror movies and comics reviews.

We have just invented four brand new cash based quiz games where the participants can win money on their knowledge.

And where, praytell, would this money come from? Me? You?

Let me break this down for you. I run a blog with no ads or particular source of revenue. You are so desperate for a client that you're asking a guy who runs a blog with no ads or particular source of revenue to help you out.

What I'm saying here is that neither of us has any cash, so a cash-based quiz game might not be the way to go. Maybe we can turn it around so that people pay us for our knowledge? Actually I've been trying to work something out on that front for years. It doesn't work too well.

The games are unique and will revolutionise the quiz genre as we know it today.

What, do they ask the questions backwards or something?

Could you be interested in having such a game/games on your website?

Could I? Sure, if I was maybe mentally handicapped or I lived in some alternate universe where not having money was better than having it.

Do I? Nah.

You would of course benefit economically from this!

You mean from the game where we're going to be giving money away?

We propose that you either place our game(s) on your site or a link/picture and then for each customer that signs up to our game(s) through your website you will get a percentage of our earning on these customers for their entire lifetime.

What? Was that a threat?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards

Anders Vang Helgesen

You know, the Danish are responsible for all the wars in the world. Also, what kind of address is that? "Admiralgade 24, 1?" Oh, is that one of your unique quiz puzzles? I think I can get this one!

Um...the answer is...Warwick Davis, star of "Willow!"

Now hand over that cash, Anders. I'm not joking about this.

If you have a really impractical business proposal for me or wish to send me money for my knowledge, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
