"Direct E-mail marketing" is, by definition, spam.
Thank you for sending me this spam for review. As you know, I review
spam messages for content, structure, cleverness, and effectiveness.
Your message rates 3.58 (out of 5) on the "Dave's Spam Review Services

I am sure you are aware that there is a small fee for this service, so
I am enclosing an invoice for $50.00US. The terms on the invoice are
net 30 days. Failure to pay will result in our forwarding your
account to a collection agency. Should that fail, we will file a
complaint with the small-claims court in your area. Since this will
no doubt tie up your legal staff far more than the claim is worth, we
recommend that you pay promptly.
