I can understand the worth of shock value, but is it worth it to trade professionalism for vulgarity? Those I copied were already on your distribution list and we were not impressed with your attempt to shock. Promoting positive change is a great endeavor, but at the risk of offending potential future clientele? That is not good business. Perhaps your message would have come over differently if your analogy was in the title only, instead of threading it through the entire publication. However, it is merely a suggestion and that is what makes this nation great, as we are all entitled to our own opinions. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, Melissa she wrote back;

Thanks, Melissa Melissa, I do realize that it is a bit on the edge but sometimes as a consultant I have to shock someone into listening to me. I have studied how to get the point across and you might be surprised how well some of these tactics work. I can promote positive change within a business culture but often that takes getting everyones attention as this email you sent to 3 co workers proves it can get you talking. I have included a introduction to my services. I am a Six Sigma Agent trained in process improvement and business buy-in.
