Here's my reply...
Hi Carol,
Thank you for your email. My name is Denis and I'm the director of a web development company.
I can see that you have used the email we solely set aside for registering Domain Names. So I guess you harvested it from one of those bots that extract email addresses from newly registered domains?
Looking at the standard of the spelling and grammar in your email I guess English is not your first language?

Oh, and as we are pretty good at SEO, SMO, SEF etc. I see that this article about your email is already on the first page of Google search engine results. Try searching for Affordable Web Desing & SEO Services
Finally, as you are offering me low cost Digital Marketing Services I guess you are keeping your costs as low as possible by using a free Hotmail email address. I suppose you cannot afford to get your own domain name, never mind your own website and telephone number?
Kind Regards, Denis O'Regan
