I worked for a company (who will remain nameless) roughly 3 years
ago.  They wanted me to come on full time, and I had interest in doing so,
however I ended up turning down the job offer.  In my last conversation
with the CEO he was cursing up a storm and threatened to sue me.  About 8
months later my lawyer was able to collect payment for the final
invoice.  That one conversation aside, we never had a problem.

  That same CEO emailed me last night asking if I still did contract
work.  How would you respond?

  A few additional comments, I'll make:

  a) He emailed me at an address that didn't exist at the time we worked
together.  So, he put in more effort than a "blind" follow-up from his
contact database of past contractors.
  b) I assume that he either does not remember our last conversation or is
really desperate.

  My first impulse is to ignore him completely.  My second impulse is to
send a polite "No Thanks" message.  There is a third voice in the back of
my head that wonders if I should let bygones be bygones, proceed with
extreme caution, charge a higher rate, and insist on a "Cash on delivery"
type of arrangement.  I don't want to pass an opportunity, but I don't want
to act foolishly either.
