Very Unprofessional and Lacks Compassion for Victim

This person sent our office a very derogatory email, because we somehow did not respond to her initial email. Instead of this person simply asking if we had an opportunity to review the email she used foul language and unprofessionalism. We are not required to subject ourselves to this sort of behavior. Had this person simply emailed a professional email and/or called, we would have been happy to discuss the issues with this person.

In addition, this person was never advised to email our office, valid email inquiries are always answered, this inquiry looked like spam.
