Here is a person who evidently has never heard the adage that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. What on earth made them think that this sort of email was going to inspire anyone to do anything, other than make fun of their email, I don't know!
Hello,
Your website does not look very official. Could you please spend some time on it and make it look like it is not from the 1990's. It seems to reflect that the bus system also has not be change or revised since the 90's. It would not take much effort. Go hire some high school student to make the change for you. You won't be spending more than $200, so there is no complaint about it not being the budget.
Wow, there are SO many possible responses to this, and almost none that could actually be sent!
Never mind that they never even mention what website (we maintain two)...for all I know, they WERE looking at something from the 1990s (no apostrophe!).
Just a few of the possible replies:

Your email doesn't look that official either. It seems to reflect that you have not learned a thing since the 90s, maybe even earlier. Please spend some time with an English grammar book.

Duly noted.
(that's it, nothing else--give them no satisfaction whatsoever)

Our website is NOT official; it was put together by a band of gypsies who were traveling through town and enjoyed their public transit experience so much they decided to create a website; but of course, they left no forwarding address so we haven't been able to change the content in years.
