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.

What an excellent excuse to use my new icon. *Shudder*

THIS is business correspondence?

i received a recriutment letter with similarly horrendous grammar and random useagge of l33tspeak... was very tempted to email back to the effect of " please learn proper grammar and spelling for use in business correspondence. until then, do not contact me."

The Grammar Police need to have a beat-down on him.... With batons, rubber bullets and tazers.
