Selfie Anonymous: An Elaborate Prank

Story time: So I have a friend who really enjoys posting selfies of herself (and enjoys it even more now that she knows I hate it). I am friends with said girls sister, and since we are evil we started coming up with evil thoughts. The basic idea was to send an official looking email to Miss Selfie to "help her with her addiction". Anyways, my job was to throw together a logo while Miss Selfie's sister (Mickell is her name for future reference) wrote up the email. Here is the logo I came up with:
T-shirt material right there.
And here is what Mickell came up with:
Dear Jodi Hoyt, jodihoyt1, and jhoyt1,

We are informing you that your name has been submitted to us from a caring and concerned friend over your selfie addiction. Yes, you are a selfie addict. Now we realize your first reaction is to be in denial and wanting to hunt this "friend" down, but hear us out. Do you posses any of these qualities? If you can answer yes to one or more of these you are indeed a selfie addict.

 Do you:

*Have at least a 30% selfies to 70% other photos ratio on one of your social media sites?

*Be described as a "selfie whore" which is someone who posts multiple pictures of themselves, photographed by themselves, to one or more social media sites (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) each week for the express purpose of getting others to comment on their pretty-ness?

*Be described as a "Selfie Queen" by your peers? A “Selfie Queen” is someone who takes an outrageous amount of selfies whether for Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat.

Now we could keep going on this list but we already know you have answered yes to at least one of these. In fact, we know without a doubt that you can answer two of these with a yes, so we figured we did not need to continue the list. When your friend contacted us they said "she is a selfie queen." So we did some research into your Instagram and found that your ratio of selfie to non selfie was 49.2% to 50.8%. We didn't even count pictures that were of just you taken by someone else, which led us to believe you are indeed a "selfie whore." You are a perfect 3 for 3 on our list which makes you a selfie addict.

We are letting you know that we are here for you. You can choose to follow our 12 step program to selfie addiction recovery. The choice is yours. If you agree to our program we will be monitoring your Facebook and Instagram to see if you are indeed following our program. To start on our program all you need to simply do is reply to this email with your complete acceptance of your selfie addiction. So look at it like a selfie confession. Once again the choice is yours and we are eagerly awaiting your reply. We have faith in your good judgment and know you will make the right choice, despite your poor judgment of thinking selfies are a good thing.

Thank you,
 Selfie Anonymous
"Helping you get over you." 

Brilliance. Pure brilliance. A little while after this was sent I received this:
She then sent me pictures of the email and here is how the rest of the conversation went down:
She also knows that I hate when she
sends me the winky face emoji. 
Needless to say, I have never been happier with myself. 
Now let me introduce you to the victim:
Hobbies include: taking selfies, telling everyone how cute they are,
and drinking chocolate milk.
And my partner in crime:
