Good Evening,
I hope my previous eight (8) messages reached you OK. As I have not heard a response from you, I am sending another and have thought alot more about the details of the project.
First off, let me apologies for not being available recently as I have been on sabbatical ever since Dr. Frank Zappa (not to be confused with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa) published that paper in Nature... I needed to find myself after having everything scooped away from me. When Univision called me up that Tuesday to comment on a recently published study, I thought it would have went better than it did. Turns out, it was the paper that Papuanewguina circulated a few days ago (thanks!). Well...it's not at all trivial to talk to people live through a camera half away around the world, especially with less than a day's notice, and, without any prior discussion on what the questions would even be about (not enough time)! I was certainly nervous (and it shows) but I was told that for a scientist I did really well - and probably will be more of this in the future. This was before the outburst that led to my required sabbatical... of course.
Anyways, the point I wanted to make is... our group is gaining fame to the point where we are asked to comment on other people's publications - which in its own is an important recognition - even if their work is better than ours in every way!! Keep up the good work! Hopefully one day we will talk about OUR research on camera...
Secondly, please recall that it is always best to include numerous parentheticals in all written communication (e.g. i.e.), and ALSO spoken word.
Thirdly, and I know, I know this catches you last minute - but please consider going to Khristoffkakotalpoulous's seminar if you can (even late). It was scheduled to begin three days ago, so I hope you all had time to attended and took GREAT notes!! :)
FOURTHLY: Thank you for getting back to me about this other presentation which I notified you about one day in advance; this will help us alot. My only criticism is that somehow you need to show more that it is ours. Apart from the importance of this work, which interests us all...it just doesn't have as high an IMPACT that it could have.
However... We are still working with Dr. Margaret Sarasota to see what makes sense and are nowhere
near close to closing the paper. To be honest, this has been a major
undertaking that has eaten up all our holiday. It is a joy of
course to work with Margaret, because she really gets things done and has
resolved all the weaknesses of the previous work, but nothing in the
results at this point resembles the original submission. Everything was
terribly off. At this point I find highly unlikely that we will need
your help.
THANKS!

Dr. More-or-Less (ALSO a professor),
It has come to my attention that
there was an interpretation or suggestion thereof my lack of response to
date regarding you previous email (see below).
I have attached
what might amount to an excess of information. Nevertheless, it should
suffice the capacity of your previous request wholeheartedly and with
good measure (i.e. be enough).
Please let me know if there is any
additional degree to which I could bend backwards that would bring you
any additional degree of satisfaction.
Much regards,
