'tweren't me--i spell voiceover as one word Wink

the start of it, "Hi, Bruce Miles VO" sounds so ... so ... foreign
(no offense, banksey)

"do you need anything? or shall i omit you ..." pshaw.

I'm curious the reaction s/he was hoping for..... "No, Please, don't delete me from your database! If you do, how will I know how to get in contact with you if I need you?!"

Seems like a kind of passive-aggressive approach...

Oh my. She could easily turn a NETworking event into a NOTworking event.

To the tune of an old Englebert Humperdinck (who?!?) song:
"Pleeeease delete me, let me go..."

She? Nah, only a man could be that stupid. I'm allowed to say that, since I are one.

Well... That explains why my marketing isn't working. Below is a copy of my auto-generated email that I've been sending out for years...

Hi, Super Awesome Voice Seeker!
Happy New Year!
I thought I'd drop you a quick line.
I hadn't heard from you since last year and aside from wondering if you might be needing any voice over work done in the near future, I'm also a little concerned that you might have only hired me the last time because I was the only idiot willing to accept your pay scale.

Along with my sock drawer, garage and desktop pencil holder, I am also actively cleaning out my online account database on my website as I do at the beginning of each year, because once it gets two to three names in it the database crashes.
If you don‚t believe you‚ll have a need for my services this year, or the services of anyone who uses commas for apostrophes, please let me know so that my network engineer can clear you out of the database and you won‚t get what some may perceive as spam, like this email, or other items I send out occasionally when I accidentally hit reply to all, like the time I replied to some guy named Viagra and my database was totally hosed because I got all these other emails from all these other people that claimed they were the real Viagra and it started a big fight in my web site so I had to close it down in case my other two clients mailed me.

Do you need anything? Like a friend, a hug or another one of these emails in a week or so to make sure you really did get this one? Or shall I omit you from the database and forever expunge you from my life?
Looking forward to hearing from you either way buddy.
(Name)
(email addy)
(URL)
(Phone)
Thank you and have a great day!

Bruce, I'm really sorry about that. I let the 5 y.o. do that bit of marketing genius. For a fiver, it's not bad. She'll try harder next time.

Dang. Teach the kids to not faff about and the next thing you know, they're culling your client list.
