I am glad that we were able to meet face first. However, it is with regret that I inform you that I am displeased with your gorilla style interviewing tactics. Keeping my oral volume below yours is a trick straight out of the book of the No Spin Zone of old media books of tricks up your sleeves. We could have someday been wealthy business partners smoking cigars on a private jet to the Hamptons and talking taxes and stuff, but I am afraid you blew the deal. As someone once said with millions of dollars at stake, 'No deal!'. I have been pushed to the limit of friendly enemies. I should have you know that my PR people are out there doing damage control as we speak! Initial results are in, and they are mopping the floor with your PR people. I mean <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=etBVAPiQRf8" rel="nofollow">business</a> in this dog eat dog world. I have a total of over 300 friends across my MySpace profiles and I have donated to every single presidential candidate including Ru Paul. And one last thing to remember: * I could buy the Wall Street Journal with my little pinky finger if I had the money. * Just remember that last thing. Sincerely, AJ M Chief Executive Business Associate M Enterprises Dear Ms. Kara Swisher,
