an email I received from a guy who I went out with ONE TIME from Jdate -- No
worries, I am definitely sending him a money order -- not a check with my
home address on it!! Calgon, take me away!!Subject: Invoice 6/12/04
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 17:15:59 EDTDear Dana:
On June 5, you agreed to accept dinner, paid for in full, by me, based on
your stated offer that we would go out again. In that you have ignored all
overtures to said follow up meeting, you are hereby considered in breach of
contract.To that end, you are being invoiced for 50% of the cost of the dinner,
pursuant to the offer. For the record, the offer presented you with the
option of not going out again and paying for half of the dinner, or going
out again and not paying at all. You accepted these terms, choosing to go
out again, as stated above, but have since failed to deliver your end of the
agreement. In that this was merely a promise to meet, and not a promise to
marry, the agreement is binding under New York law and does not require a
written agreement (i.e. statute of frauds).Furthermore, this is absolutely not a joke.
Your share is 50% of $74.51 which is a total of $37.25. Payment in full is
expected within 30 days.You may remit to:
Andrew Goldberg

Will Andrew or Dana please come forward? blog @ cenedella dot com is the address.
UPDATE: I've checked Snopes and Google for de-bunking on this one, to no avail as of yet.
UPDATE 2: Easy on Andrew, people! At least he was nice enough to pick up the spare penny. He would've been well within his rights to round up from $37.255 !!
UPDATE 3: Snopes is on it... stay tuned.
