Just need a bit of work on something

Boy do I know the feeling in this email exchange. The first incoming email:

Subject: Logo Design

Hello David,

I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

Simon
The reply and the thread that follows) is a hoot. I do not bill myself as a graphic artist but I have done a bunch of it and so many times, people will want you to do "just a little project" with no chance of remuneration. Harlan Ellison says it best:
