Yup. I think that's part of why I figured it was a guy (actually, I think
Kadeem is a male name, too -- of course, hotmail accounts probably don't
require honesty about your name). I wasn't very concerned about
male/female, it was just a passing remark. The attitude that s/he could
just write a stranger out of the blue and tell them to do something for
them by tomorrow: that's what struck me about the email and why I passed it on.

Well, I'm not a cultivator of writers, but you or anyone else is welcome to
reply to "Kadeem." I left the email address on there.
