Subject: ATM Ideas
Hello Lindsay,
I have an interesting idea and I was told that you were
the one I should contact. From what I understand, you work for the top company
in the automated banking world so I'm sure that you can at least give me
some insight or point me in the right direction.
I've come up with several ideas that would revolutionize
the banking world!!! Most of them came to me in a dream I had a few months
ago. It was my first night at the mental
hospital so I had a lot of time to reflect. Granted at the end of my dream the
ATM ate my French poodle Larry, but the rest if the dream was very insightful.
Larry is fine.
I have designed a prototype. It is an ATM that hands out
money before you even tell it what to do.
Think of the time it will save! Basically, all you have to do is walk up
to it and it will hand you $342.43. Your customer saves time and everyone is
happy!! Then all you have to do is walk inside and let someone know the next
time you go to the bank so they can keep track.
It will also shoot scalding hot ham and eggs at people
wearing hooded swear shirts to help prevent theft.
Please let me know soon. If you give me the green light I
can have designs on your desk by tomorrow morning.
Thanks,
Brad Fith

I also forgot to mention, my design includes many
features that will be standard in your new line.
1. There will be a beer holder on the ATM. Customers will
no longer have to sit their beers down while making a transaction.
2. There will be a nacho dispenser in case your customers
are hungry. I understand that hot cheese and beef might cause some minor burns
and get messy but I feel the risk is worth the reward.
3. The ATM will be on wheels in case there is an issue. I
want to be able to wheel it in to bank personnel to correct the problems. The
nacho dispenser in my prototype keeps getting jammed so this will come in
handy.
I have a patent on all these so please do not use them
without my permission. If you could let me know I'd appreciate it. I can send
you all the pictures and designs for these new products.
Thanks Again,
Brad

Hello Mr. Fith,
Please send me your resume. Your ideas sound revolutionary and I will
make every effort to get you in contact with our product design team. I have often pondered what to do with my beer
while using the Automated Teller Machine.
This idea could light this industry on fire.
Regards,
Matt

What? Is this not engineering? I don't want a job at your
company. I'm sure it's great and all but I
haven't worked since I dismantled my 1984 Ford Escort and sold it for parts on
eBay. I've got plenty of money. I just
don't have a lot of free time to be hanging out all day at ATM machines. I just
want to get this done to make my life easier.
I've attached the design specs for my new ATM. Can you
please forward them to someone in engineering?
They're pretty complex so if they need any assistance have them call me.
Once it's complete let me know and I'll let you know where to ship it to.
Regards,
Brad

Thank you Matthew. You've been very helpful. I thought I
was just going to get the runaround like the time my brother
Carlos convinced me that he was going to help me paint my fence. Instead sold my television to an angry,
middle aged manicurist for $25 and cut down my neighbors tree because he wanted
to get some sun and he said it was getting in his way.
You have been much more helpful than him.
Allyson,
Did Matt forward you my design plans? If not I can resend
them. I also just had another brilliant idea that can help us appeal more to
the younger demographic. I'm not sure how the licensing would work but what do
you think of the design?
Thanks for your time. Talk too you soon.
