Saucy email embarrasses solicitor

Saucy email embarrasses solicitor

A top City solicitor demanded £4 from a lowly secretary who accidentally splashed ketchup on his trousers.

Richard Phillips, a senior associate with the world's biggest law firm, Baker & McKenzie, sent the email demand to Jenny Amner.

And now the email - and a reply from Ms Amner saying she'd been unable to pay because she'd been off work mourning the death of her mother - is doing the rounds of London's legal community.

Mr Phillips sent Mrs Amner, a mother of two in her fifties, a polite but insistent email asking for the money, reports the Daily Mail.

It read: "Hi Jenny, I went to a dry cleaners at lunch and they said it would cost £4 to remove the ketchup stains. If you cd let me have the cash today, that wd be much appreciated. Thanks Richard."

Mrs Amner's response was a little slow, so on June 3 she arrived at her desk to find a Post-It note left by a colleague chasing her for the £4.

She sent out a reply - not only to Mr Phillips but to all 250 staff working on the third floor of their office, which read: 'Subject: RE: Ketchup trousers.

"With reference to the email below, I must apologise for not getting back to you straight away but due to my mother's sudden illness, death and funeral I have had more pressing issues than your £4.

"I apologise again for accidentally getting a few splashes of ketchup on your trousers. Obviously your financial need as a senior associate is greater than mine as a mere secretary.

"Having already spoken to and shown your email and Anne-Marie's note to various partners, lawyers and trainees in ECC&T and IP/IT, they kindly offered to do a collection to raise the £4.

"I however declined their kind offer but should you feel the urgent need for the £4, it will be on my desk this afternoon. Jenny."

A spokesman for Baker & Mackenzie said: "It is a private matter between two individual members of staff that has clearly got out of hand. The matter is being investigated and we cannot comment further."
