There’s someone who wants you to pass.
The answer is always C
2nd statement is most correct.
I’m fine with being called Bertha if it means I get a 20% discount
People need to be taught how not to send inappropriate text messages?

My pick was 5 but I use “turkey” a lot in addressing people, so it’s really what I would like to hear as a customer. Someone who gets me. Just don’t call me “Jive Turkey”.
None of the above. You use email or call them, not text messages.
I’m still trying to figure out what a Turkey is and why you would refer to someone as one…

Frankly, this depends *entirely* on what the business actually is. If I’m dealing with a local mom-and-pop shop, I’d like 1 over 2. If I’m dealing with a guy in a bazaar, 5 is going to be best. And if my business is pissing off Principal Skinner and then escaping on my skateboard, I’m definitely going with 3!
Absolutely 4 – it’s impossible to lose. Any of the choices are appropriate, including none of them are appropriate (including your choice of 4).
Seriously though, I don’t like 2 because I suspect most authors would be offended being referred to as a supplier….. unless it’s a self-publishing scam which would make them a customer. It’s also reads like a cold-call. No attempt at a personal connection and no meaningful ask. Would be much better if it offered something like “I’d like to talk with you about publishing your book. It would be a great addition to our catalog and I’m excited about the possibilities our collaboration could open for both of us.”
If my name was Bertha, 1 is completely appropriate – especially for a hyper targeted casual communication medium like text.
