In which i am asked to sign my name to a blurb i did not write

Email One:

Hi Mickey, a while ago i got you to write a quote/review/blurb for my book ________________. Well i had another couple of people write quotes then too. Anyways long story short, the book is getting published and someone wrote this quote "_____’s writing elevates us into a dream-like world where myths abound and prophecies unfold. Her characters must use all their resources to battle unexpected betrayals and perilous journeys. _______'s work is replete with sharp details and relentless villains.” and we don't know which person it was. Was it you? If so the publsihing company would like to put it on the back cover and quote it from Mickey Hess. If not none of the others think it was them, so would you either be willing to write another or claim this one. Let me know thanks.

Email Two:

Hi Mickey, me again, i was just going back through the emails and i realized where this quote came from. I sent the list of blurbs i recived to my editor 8months ago and he changed your quote and asked me to see if you wouldn't mind. (he thought some people would confuse some of your words for negative ones) Anyways as i never thought we would get this far this fast i totally forgot about that. Now i feel silly. Anyways so would you care if we put your name to that quote?
