Does anyone else get requests like the one quoted below? If so, what do
you do about them? This one sounds to me like (s)he wants me to do their
homework for them - or am I being churlish?
It might help if I knew what a "senior A.P. English student" is. Can
anyone enlighten me, please? As the sender of the email has an AOL
account, I don't know where (s)he hails from.
Regards,
Peter
