Ban?

I just received a forwarded message.  Apparently, one of the regular knotties has been soliciting through email.  She has posted a few times under planner posts to 'email me'.  The email address matches what she wrote.  It is off the boards, and I've never heard this girl talk about her wedding.  Ban, right? 

Here is the email:

Thanks for e-mailing me!  First off, congratulations on your engagement!
 
The reason I asked the other knottie to e-mail me is because I wanted to let her (and you!) know that I am a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants [ABC distinguished graduate (http://www.bridalassn.com)] and am planning to start my own business.  In order to gain experience, I have been assisting two of the top wedding planners in Cincinnati.  I also will be shadowing a CA wedding planner at one of her weddings later this year.  Her work has been featured on WE TV's hit show Platinum Weddings.  As previously stated, I want to start my own business here in Cincinnati within the next year or so.  Right now, I am the "gain experience and research" mode.  I also am working to try and build my own portfolio.  That's where you come in!  I would love to help you plan and execute your wedding.  I am willing to work for a heavily discounted fee and help you with whatever you need and want.  I figure it is a win-win situation.  You get discounted wedding planning and expert advice, and I get to build my portfolio!

To tell you more about myself, I am 28 years old and hope to be planning my own wedding in near future.  I received by Bachelor of Science in Florida and a Post-Bacc. Certif. from UC.  I originally wanted to go to law school but realized that is not what I'm meant to do with my life.  I'm not passionate about the law.  I have however, always loved weddings, had a passion for planning, am detailed oriented, and stylish.  I love entertaining, decorating, baking, shopping, children, and being a girly girl.  When it comes to weddings, I believe that there is no such thing as a small detail.  I also encourage couture weddings, not cookie-cutter ones.  A wedding day isn't just a day in which a wedding takes place, it's an experience you and your guests will remember for the rest of your lives.  It should be unique and personal.
 
I am happy to help you in any way you want and feel comfortable.  I am not a pushy person.  I definitely understand that your wedding day is not a day you want to take chances.  And even if you want to plan your own wedding, draw on my knowledge and talent.  I would love to meet you and hear all about your wedding vision. 
 
No Knottie pressure!  I just wanted to throw that idea out there to you.  Tell me more about yourself and your wedding vision...  If you want to talk further or need any help/ideas, feel free to e-mail me! 
 
 
Best wishes and wedding planning success,
