grammar mistakes

i got an interesting email at work today, i'll post a portion of it because it really made me feel stupid...
i'll premise this with the fact that i sent him an email asking for something, and he was confused with what i wanted. so this is the third email iteration.

****Actually you were very UN-clear describing what you needed. I really enjoy doing this sort of stuff. But it is essential that you be precise in your project descriptions. Please re-read your emails for clarity and grammar mistakes. Next time you write to me, save it in drafts, then come back to it in an hour and proofread it. (I was an English major in college.) Since I work 2nd-shift, it won't get to me any sooner anyway.***

my parents are at the SU basketball game today, hopefully syracuse will win.


GO EAGLES!!!!

As I always say, "There are nicer ways to say things."

Write back and tell him, "Why don't you save your emails as a draft, then come back to it later on to make sure you don't sound like a total a-hole, and revise as needed."
