Subject:     Otherstream: Link Removal Request(Urgent)
Date:     August 8, 2012 7:28:54 AM EDT

Hello,

I work for the digital marketing agency iProspect on behalf of British Gas.
As part of our ongoing SEO campaign – we looking to edit or remove some of the backlinks pointing to the http://www.britishgas.co.uk domain name.

We have identified the following link to British Gas on your site (otherstream.com):

http://www.otherstream.com/sections/school/page/4/
http://www.otherstream.com/2009/02/05/boliers-and-books/

We would like to work with you and request that one of the below actions are taken regarding this link.
This is to ensure that our client avoids violating the Google Webmaster Guidelines in any form due to a historic decision they or a previous agency has made.

•    Please remove the link(s) from your website

Please note that we are not trying to imply that your website is of fault for violating any guidelines, but that we have advised British Gas should remove any historic links that they acquired which could be interpreted as paid or intended to manipulate PageRank.
Please let me know if you are able to action this request or if you require any further information.
Apologies if you have received multiple emails, this is due to their being multiple links on your website (please review each one).

Kind regards

I believe I’ll decline. And by the way, please take this opportunity to go fuck yourself.

Pittsburgh or DC for Labor Day weekend?

I guess it all comes down to that age old battle between pastrami at Smallman Street or a Double R Bar Burger at Roy Rogers.

DC has the edge for now but I can be very impulsive about these things.

Interesting–if perhaps overly simplistic–perspective from north of the border.
