+1 for the thought, -10 for the execution

I just received an email from the anti-virus company ESET, reminding me that a license that I purchased for one of their products is coming up for renewal soon. I appreciate the email, but honestly, do you think they could’ve put some more time into formatting it and making it readable and appealing?
