The email frightens me as it shows:
1. They are totally clueless about the affiliate business. Its unlikely they realize the value we bring to the table and its doubtful they will see paying us as a high priority.
2. They write incoherently, so they arent terribly sharp. Our money is in foolish hands.
3. They are trying to sweep everything under the rug and are prone to trying to blackmail people.
I am a lot less confident that this company will surive. And perhaps thats a good thing as they dont seem very sound or ethical.
