Remember that when you commit something to writing

ummary: Remember that when you commit something to writing, people may read it. A lot of people. This is a lesson which new law school graduate Dianna Abdala is in the process of learning after having declined a job with the law firm of William Korman in a series of unusual and bizarre emails.

It makes for great reading, and I’m obviously not the only one who thinks so. It started out by going the rounds of the online legal community. According to Mass Lawyer publisher, David Yas, the email has been passed around to an untold number of attorneys and firms, both in the local area and beyond. And even to firms in Europe.

Said Karman, “This has taken on a life of its own. The legal community is tiny, and the criminal-defense bar even smaller. They are surprised by this attorney’s responses to my simple queries. It’s so early in her career to be attacking someone like this. I just wish it had played out better.”

Amazingly, Abdala is not concerned in the least with how the outing of her attitude, poor communications style, and either lack of spelling acumen or mixing of metaphors will impact her employability as an attorney. Nor is she concerned that this has now been forwarded to several thousand people, at last count, and posted around the world. In fact, she is quoted as saying “I’m not upset at all. I’m enjoying the notoriety.”

Hey Dianna, enjoy it while you can. And along with “bla bla bla”, there’s another phrase you may want to brush up on: “Would you like fries with that?”

Here’s the email exchange; what do you think of the whole thing?

Subject: Thank you

Dear Attorney Korman, At this time, I am writing to inform you that I will not be accepting your offer. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the pay you are offering would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am living in light of the work I would be doing for you. I have decided instead to work for myself, and reap 100% of the benefits that I sew. Thank you for the interviews. Dianna L. Abdala, Esq.
