*Hey Filing Clerk, your boss' birthday is coming up and I thought I'd tell you that she really wants a bracelet from Nordstrom's. Here's the web address so you can look at it. Signed, a coworker*
What the...?
Did you send me an email asking me to buy my boss some bracelet?
Sure did. I thought that it would be a thoughtful thing for you to do and she's mentioned that she really wants it. Are you going to do it?
If by 'do it' you mean block you from sending me any more no work related emails, then yes, I'm going to 'do it'.
