I can only speak for myself, but I actually prefer the intial contact to be by e-mail.  I tend to schedule appointments weeks in advance.  Without an example of the e-mail you are sending to the companions, I cannot tell you if you correspondences make you appear to be LE.  

I can give you a list of reasons that will result in me not returning your e-mail.

1.  Inquiring about specific acts.  That includes using acronyms like bbbj or hj.

2.  Including a list of requirement that are impossible to provide while coming too close to refering to specific acts.

2.  Overall negative tone.

Hope this helps,

What Working Girl has above mentioned is also true for me.  If I catch a bad vibe, I usually won't reply.  

I try, but I don't check my e-mails everyday so I might not have a chance to respond immediately.  It's best to contact me by phone because if you needed to notify me, or for last minute updates, I'm only a phone call away.

Re:Providers - why don't you answer e-mails???

.... I don't respond to e-mails that do not tell me where, as in what URL a gentleman saw my ad, or if he can not tell me the first name and date that I served the friend who referred him to me. Try to always include that info and I bet more pros will respond to your e-mail.
