Here's a trick I'd like to pass on.

When you're writing an e-mail that you know might not be received well, don't put anyone in the To: field. Write the e-mail. Proof it, and save it. Wait a few minutes, come back, read it again and if you're still happy, put the recipient in the To: field and send it.

Dear Mr. Burns,

excellent advice about filling in the "to:" field last...ive seen accidental sends they're not pretty.

Are there any potential negative consequences with ending a business email telling someone to "fuck off"? There is reasonable chance this will end up in a lawsuit at some point, so other than maybe looking like a hothead, any reason not to blast someone?

We would like you to send this email with the "fuck off" language included. Also, we want you to post your entire email exchange, as well as any future emails.

I am assuming this is a small business or possibly you are the sole employee. If you work for someone else it is definitely not a good idea. Wait 15 minutes and think about it first.

Imagine yourself sitting on the witness stand reading it to a jury. If you're cool with it, send it, if not, reconsider.

I think you should take up a collection and get a billboard or at least a bus bench near this person's office/business.
