Worst-written message from a recruiter yet?

I received the following e-mail message from an IT recruiter. I am posting it in its entirety, editing only to render into HTML and to obfuscate e-mail addresses so I don't make more spambait. Names have not been changed to protect the linguistically challenged.

Note: I realize that this guy may be perfectly intelligent and capable of expressing himself in his native language, but there's no way that he should be sending out English-language e-mail without more study -- and I am surprised that his employer didn't realize this, since previous messages from them haven't been nearly so bad.

Actually, what I did send was this, to the company's main e-mail address listed on their website, along with a quote of the message in question:


Hi there.

I got the message quoted below from one of your recruiters. Please notice the incredibly poor grammar and spelling. I suggest that you train this person to write in decent English -- or maybe just fire him. Let me know what you decide to do.

Thanks,
