Funniest email written to a model of all time.

Sorry but I had to share this.

Ive seen a lot of funny/ strange emails over the years ...written to me and models.

Well, this is one of the best. Its an inquiry to Ginger Jolie to hire her for a "project".

It's kinda long - but if you can get through it, its fucking hysterical.

(I changed the guys name. I also summarized my top 5 favorite quotes at the bottom)
