Dear Google Mail Administrator [updated]

I respectfully request more gigabytes. When I created my Gmail beta account in 2005 you encouraged me to “never delete anything.” And so I haven’t. And I want to keep those 38,764   54,401 mails.

I see you have a fee structure to purchase more gigabytes.

• 20 GB – $5/yr
• 80 GB – $20/yr
• 200 GB – $50/yr
• 400 GB – $100/yr
• 1 TB – $256/yr
• 2 TB – $512/yr
• 4 TB – $1024/yr
• 8 TB – $2048/yr
• 16 TB – $4096/yr

I also see you’ve updated your original statement to say “the typical user can go for years without deleting a single message.” I protest. I never received a message from you stating that I needed to start to delete messages. I feel that I should have been notified if your “terms of use” changed. It is on this offense that I base my request for more space.

Now my account is 89% full. You still advise users not to “waste time deleting messages.”

You talk as if Gmail is different; there is the “old way” and the “Gmail way.” I believed you. If you give my account more storage space, I will believe in you still.

Sincerely yours,

Aimée Knight

P.S. I’m still waiting for your reply. It’s January 3, 2012 and things have  gone critical! Time to take action.
