Proof that I do reply to every mis-addressed email.

Liz Miller was one of two people addressed on this email:

[REDACTED #1],

Attached should be the invoice #318 (already paid) except materials under MONEY OWED,

2nd Attatchment should be the new invoice #319 for the library

Thanks,
[REDACTED #2]

The invoices was for the installation of a back patio and French doors, among other work, with a total amount of about seven hundred dollars due.

I replied-all saying they had sent this to the wrong Liz Miller. I then received this response:

Whatever I expect you to pay this invoice

Thank you,
[REDACTED #1]

To which, a bit miffed, I responded:

I’m not the Liz Miller you’re looking for. For one thing, I live in Los Angeles in an apartment with no back porch or French doors.

[REDACTED #1]’s response?

Just kidding just giving my contractor a hard time, sorry for the inconvenience! Have a great weekend.

Nice enough, I guess. The only snag in his attempt at comedy — the contractor (presumably [REDACTED #2]) wasn’t included on any of his subsequent emails. But, hey, comedy is tough.
