I am hoping he doesn't reply back and just drops it. Re: Invoice for unauthorised work? 4May 27, 2015 3:29 pm He sounds like a beginner.

He needs to get his business plan in order and learn from his mistake. I think he has been around for a while. He probably does this to see if he can either get the job or get the money.
