    Dear Mr. Fox,

    I am already exporting my services abroad.
    But what would you know about that or any other business issues, you fat, lazy, piece of crap, sucking on the tit of the public sector, as you have all your life?

    Most sincerely, SG.

    You're not special. Here's mine. Seems slightly different:

    Dear Director

    HMRC are sending this email on behalf of the Department for International Trade.

    When was the last time you thought about selling your goods and services abroad? It might be time to consider it again. Many new opportunities pop up every day.

    To learn more about the opportunities out there, visit GREAT.GOV.UK.

    The demand is out there. You should be too.

    I can start an EU Ltd Co with as little as one euro.

    What do you say if I move my Ltd company offshore?
    And higher income taxes?

    Typo in the letter. Should have read 'deport' not 'export'.
