Honest.
My girlfriend was looking at part-time writing jobs for me, so I could earn a lil extra money for her diamond shoes and wombat-fur knickers.
She says, Ive found the perfect job for you!
Me: Ooooo
Then, with a smile, she says, Its writing articles and reviews for porn sites - up to £400 a week!
WTF? I say.
So I apply, not taking it seriously in the least. I enter online. Heres what I wrote
Anyway, I get a reply and all seems well - they like my humour. Ive not actually started doing anything yet, but after sending them some of my work, Ive just been given the go-ahead and should start soon once they have an account to pay me through after not having the slightest thought that itd go anywhere. I've found out the average writer earns around £200 a week. Not bad for a little on the side.
See, sometimes doing something for sh**s and giggles pays off!

Hello,
My girlfriend sent me the link to this. She said it'd be 'right up my street'. Sex and writing. The woman's always right. I mainly write satire and think something like this could use some wit. Maybe?
What do you think?
I'm an upcoming writer who wants to make some money on the side whilst waiting for my golden egg to hatch. I've tried sitting on it but still nothing...
I'll be happy to send you some of my work - mainly short stories and a few articles for a very dry work's magazine, but first I'd like some response to my initial message with hopefully some reassurance that you're legitimate and not some pimple-covered teen with wa**er's cramp that plays World of Warcraft and drinks Pepsi Max.
Have I charmed you enough? I hope so. I'm not quite sure how much you are expecting from these messages, so I'll leave it at this and wish you a good day.
Thanks. For now, just call me Andy.
