threats from Pete - Microsoft licensing

-----------
after v3 of ELOP, Pete suddenly become angry ...

Please note that this document identifies a license shortfall.  We would ask you to please remedy the shortfall identified within the attached by acquiring the necessary licenses within the next 10 working days.  We will be able to complete this process once we see that an order has been placed.  Please feel free to email me confirmation of the purchases you have made, e.g. agreement numbers, copy/ies of invoices, etc so that we can expedite the completion of this process.

We encourage you to speak with an authorised Microsoft Reseller/Partner on this matter.  If you do not have an incumbent partner we would be happy to arrange for a preferred Microsoft Partner to reach out to you.  Please let us know via return email if you would like us to initiate a referral.

I feel shocked and angry as previously Microsoft asked for 5 windows server 2012 R2 licenses which I proved the customer already bought.

now I have to prove local ms pete is correct in saying the shortfall for the un-priviledged customer
