"Dear Businessperson,
Having shelled out $495 for a rough draft, you have helped to
ensure that the supplier sees no need to improve their publishing
standards.
Have you asked yourself if their standards of data-gathering,
fact-checking, and conclusion-drawing are of similar quality
to the writing, editing and presentation? Did they bring equal
care and pride to all aspects of the product that they sold to you?
On a scale of one to ten (one being lowest) how confident are you
that you got full value for your money?
Surveyor-to-the-Stars, Inc.
A subsidiary of Obsessive Techwriting Conglomerate"
