You can contact Pete if you wish. He'd like that. He’d like it even more if you were all nice and polite to him. Things get done in a much better atmosphere that way.
Be it for a job offer, a quote, an idea or just to say hello, send him an email.
Just remember, there's an unwritten bond of trust in a relationship like this. Trust is a powerful thing. So don't try to sell him Viagra, or offer to increase the size of his breasts. If you do, that's it. Friendship over.
And if you wish to send him hate mail or death threats, at the very least use proper grammar. He can’t stand reading "I r guna kull u". It’s so childish.
