me, writing an email:
hi. sorry for not getting back to you sooner. i hate replying to things. that doesn't mean i hate you! but i do hate your emails, because i have to reply to them. theres nothing wrong with the email. in fact i was overjoyed to read it! but now i am dismayed, because i must reply. it takes a lot of energy to write a reply to any email, so please dont take it personally. in fact i believe i am out of energy now.
yours sincerely,
josef
