Dear Mr. S,

I met with your Creative Director on Monday, and he was ready to give me the contract on the spot. I realize that with your recent re-org, you have high expectations and have put more hoops in place for your staff to jump through to bring in a hired gun. I'm fine with that, but if you go ahead and find time to review--and hopefully approve--my stuff, then that would make me really, really happy.

Thanks!
Dex

Dear Ad Agency,

The project we talked about today sounds really great. It would be even more great if you call me on Monday to tell me that you're ready to sign the papers and get started. It would be truly awesome if your schedule happens to line up with the timeline for when Mr. S's company is ready to bring me in...that way I'll get to work on everyone's cool projects and not have to refuse either of you.

Thanks,
Dex
