Marvin,

That is unbelievable. Is there any indication as to where the email originated from? A university or another country, perhaps? I have seen other portrait artist websites based on a what appears to be a China sweatshop. But there is something so underhanded about this.

There is something about the phasing of the letter that sounds like this would be an act of fraud on the artist's part. They are not students or understudies. You are shipping it to them, they do all the work without any real knowledge of your technique, and then the original artist signs it. To a client who is paying large sums of money for your skill, that is more than just immoral, it sounds illegal. Especially if you were to work with a contract as I assume most people do.
