In an email to A.C.M.E Co. from Wile E. Coyote :

To: ACMECO@WB.ACME.COM
From:W.e.Coyote@roadrunnet.net
Subject: I'm done!!!!

To Whom it may concern:

After years of unsuccessful attempts at catching the Road Runner, with and without the help of your clever yet faulty products, I have chosen to give on up this fool hearted act and I have taken up the more relaxing art and past time of Fly-fishing and Fly tying. Thus I will no longer be requiring any further catalogs of your products. Please remove me from your mailing lists both E-mail and US Postal.

Sincerely Wile E. Coyote

In Response the C.E.O of A.C.M.E scrambled his researchers and they responded with this email :

Dear Mr. Coyote

We are sorry for your lack of faith in our products. As well as your inability to catch your prey, we insure you that our products had nothing to do with your failure. We do wish to applaud you in your new venture with Fly fishing and tying. Please accept this new addition to our new Fly fishing line of products as a sample of the many new products we are excited to offer you.

Sincerely A.C.M.E Co

8. Select a barred or colored dry fly hackle that contrasts agents the bomb and the wet fly hackle. Tie in end first and wind on over the where you tied off the weave, wind forward and tie off. Whip finish add head cement and you're done.
