Regarding my previous email

One of my guilty pleasures is reading the business/management advice blog, Ask a Manager. It has no relationship to my current existence, though it sometimes helps me understand my sister, the bank VP's, existence. And there are so many bonkers stories. It's like the late, lamented food service blog, Behind Closed Ovens, but for business.

I'm reminded of AAM because of an email I found in my inbox this morning.

Hello,

Did you get a chance to review my previous email?

Could we schedule a call for sometime this week so we can discuss Mobile
app or Web app development requirements you may have? Please suggest a
day and time and share the best phone number to reach you.

Thank you

We are a mobile app and web app development company; we build custom
solutions based on required functional specifications that automate
various business applications.

Look forward to your response.

Thanks & Regards,

Note the passive aggressive "Surely you've had time to read my previous email by now" tone. (I hadn't. Never got it.) But mostly, I ask myself, does this kind of random cold contact actually work? Do people actually hire freelance programmers based on spam email?

But more importantly, what the heck kind of app would I need for pottery?
