The following is an email I recently received. It makes me sick to my stomach to entertain the idea that that this stuff actually goes on. However, I have to believe that since I get these kind of solicitations on a daily basis, there have to be some artists out there who are utilizing these services. I know there is a historic precedence for artists using assistants to do the grunge work, but this proposal still seems totally immoral and unethical to me.

Respected Sir
I was browsing through your site. Your portraits are excellent and very impressive. I appreciate the process that you follow to paint these portraits.
We are a group of artists who would like to get an opportunity to work with you. I have a proposal that might benefit both of us. You could send us the images for the portrait and we could paint the same for you and send it across. We may not be as good an artist as you are, but can provide you with a good painting and your finishing touch would give the life to the portrait. This way you would be able to complete more portraits.
Our charges for painting the portrait would be very economical. We do have a process in place that would help you validate if we are progressing the portrait painting in the right direction. We can assure that the quality of our painting is very good and we keep our promises of delivery dates.
Please do let me know if you would be interested in the above proposal, in which case we can send you our price list and work out the logistics. If required we can send you a sample portrait painting, based on the images sent by you, to help you judge the quality of work.
Look forward to your response and an opportunity to work with you.
Regards
Nirmala
