Contest: Guess the Next Chapter of Stamping Destroyed My Life

EDITED TO ADD:  Comments are now closed.  Winner will be announced Sunday, February 6th!  How close did the winner come to guessing what's in the letter?  Hmm....


I'm really enjoying the comments I receive, both here on the blog and on Facebook, on Stamping Destroyed My Life.  I also want to thank those of you who are reading the story.

So, I thought I'd run a little contest.

Fill in the blanks in this sentence. 
"The law firm tells M that _________ because __________."

I'm going to make the comments non public so that each person can guess without being influenced, but I'll reveal them when I post the winner.  If more than one person guesses correctly, I'll pick a winner from the correct guesses at random.

Deadline: Friday, February 5th at 10pm US eastern time.

And what is the prize?  

I have a box packed with stamping goodies.  It includes nearly new or new inks, used (some stained) stamps, and some dies.

Anyone in the world is eligible.  Please post guesses only on this post!

I'll have to have a think on this but I've heard that Dewey, Cheatum and Howe is an excellent law firm and M might want to ditch her lawyer and try them!

The law firm tells M that she must cease and desist from working as a GDWS demo immediately AND pay the company back for all expenses incurred for her trip up to see them.
The reason being security cameras caught all her shenanigans at the offices with the fire alarm and setting up her "spy equipment". Not to mention word has gotten back to them regarding her PUSHY sales tactics with her hostesses as well as charging them for valet services and GDWS feels M is NOT the kind of person they want representing their company. She is destroying their "warm and friendly" reputation and are suing her for $2 million in damages.

The law firm tells M that GDWS is suspending her demoship because she is charging hostesses for valet parking for more than she pays and handing out tax advice.

Betty said...

The law firm tells M that she is being sued for industrial espionage in the amount of $1.5m because her activities while visiting GDWS were all filmed on their CCTV.

Wow, is M in deep do-do!!!

Cat Craig said...

The law firm tells M that they will no longer represent her because her husband has filed for divorce and it is a conflict of interest.

Diane said...

The law firm tells M that GDWS is severing ties with her because of her appalling behavior when they graciously invited her to visit GDWS headquarters....(they viewed the video they have all over the place!)

The law firm tells M that she is no longer allowed to use their logo in her ice sculptures because other demos are getting jealous of her success and have complained that she is giving the company an image that the average demo cannot measure up to.

LOVE your story so far! So many chortles and embarrassed eye rolls. LOL

Cindy said...

The law firm tells M that GDWS has issued a "cease and desist" order against her because of her unscrupulous methods and highly-suspect claims involving their company.

Jeanne H said...

The law firm tells M that her neighbors are suing her for disturbing the peace and mass parking in violation of the noise and parking regulations in the planned community where she live. Suing even though she had the valet people park the cars during her parties.

Betty said...

here's another name of a good lawyer for M - Suzie Pantzov is supposed to be fantastic and she's in the D.C. area - i think a woman lawyer would be better for M

Glorie said...

The law firm tells M that she should cease and desist with using her "secret" methods in her demos because GWDS has copyrighted them.

Becky said...

The law firm is inviting M to be on the board of directors of GDWS because she has such outstanding sales.

Beth said...

GDWS is suing her because she used their logo on the ice sculpture.

Oh, fun. I'm guessing, "The law firms tells M that GDWS is suing her because they have video footage of her pulling the fire alarm, and snooping around.
