However, I wanted to be certain of the request before I started printing. The requesting department pays $6.50 for each poster. There is a very big difference in their budget between 7 posters ($45.50) and 70 posters ($455.00). I see your point. However, I wanted to be certain of the request before I started printing.

I try to do the same thing. People seem to think you can read their minds, or are in a hurry and don't realize they need to clarify. They also may not really know what they should be asking for. Because I am a methodical person, I just slow down when someone asks me for something in an unclear way. I have even told people "I need to ask you a few questions so I can understand how to help you." Hurray for speaking strong and for asking for clarification without accusing or demeaning someone!

J sent you 10 posters and wanted 7 copies. Seemed pretty clear to me. You were being overly picky, I think. J sent you 10 posters and wanted 7 copies. Seemed pretty clear to me.
