Subject: Inquiry about Artwork for Wedding Anniversary Gift

Good day,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Anthony, and I am reaching out to you with a special request. My wife and I are soon celebrating our wedding anniversary, and I want to make it extra special by giving her a unique artwork as a gift. After researching several artists, I was drawn to your work, and I would love to learn more about the pieces you have available.

Could you kindly provide me with some photos and details of your art, including their sizes and prices? I have a budget of $500 upwards and would like to find a piece that fits within this range.

I appreciate your time and expertise, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Anthony

I get this email on a fairly regular basis and it usually includes a line like "I was looking over my wife's shoulder while she was on the computer looking at your work...". Not only are they fraudsters, but they're creepers too!
