An autistic woman who can cope with the head-spinning scene from The Exorcist (1973) has been left fearing for her life after receiving an email response that seemed slightly clipped, according to reports.
Sources say Siobhan Moorton, 31, spotted the message in her inbox this morning from manager Deborah Whitehead, 44, following a tense wait – having sending out a tentative enquiry about an entirely non-controversial work matter at 4.49pm yesterday.
“I tried adding several exclamation marks to convey enthusiasm, but ended up sounding like an excitable child sending a postcard home,” Moorton explained.
“Her email in response simply said, ‘See above email attached.’ Well, I fucking shit myself,” Moorton told us.
Moorton continued: “And then the sign off was, ‘Regards’. Not even a warm one. Stone fucking cold. Which confirms I’m stone fucking dead, as this woman intends to murder me in my sleep.”
Whitehead commented: “I don’t even remember Siobhan’s email. I must get about a hundred and fifty a day.”
