Do you agree with this?
So I wrote the following e-mail to a client:
Can you please send us copies (via e-mail) of all of the 2008 tax information you have received for yourself C, B, L, A, [names removed to protect the innocent] and all related Trust returns. We would like to get started on the various returns due April 15th. Once the information is received, I will send you an open items list detailing the information still needed to complete the return.
Please let me know a tentative date I could expect to receive this information.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Melanie
The partner on the account (who I cc'd) sends me the following e-mail back:
Don't be quite so abrasive on the info below, be nice. I see this stringent sentence in too much of the [insert company name] requests and it seems that everyone automatically puts it in their requests. Please let me know a tentative date I could expect to receive this information. Background: I've dealt with this particular client for nearly 5 years, him 1. She is known for saying, yeah, yeah, yeah I'll get it to you in a week. 3 weeks pass by and nothing. I just wanted a tentative date from her so I'm not annoying sending weekly requests. She is typical Italian Chicago woman, and this e-mail would not come across as abrasive to her. If anything, she'd laugh at my over-the-top professionalism. She's used to people calling her up and going, Hey, where's your stuff? Go in your drawer and scan everything to me. I was peeved last night.
Re: Do you agree with this?
I showed the e-mail to other people and they just rolled their eyes and said to tell him that I said "please"
The thing is, there are at least 10 returns that I need information for. Her stuff never goes out by the 15th but we still need to calculate extension and estimate figures for her.
Oh well, it just annoyed me yesterday because I know abrasive and that is far from it.
Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
I understand it's the middle of tax season but he needs to relax that ass a bit.
He might be afraid to... that giant stick trying to slide out might hurt a bit.
