    How shall I reply...??

    I just received this pathetic email:

    Hi

    It’s that time of year again when the majority of agencies relax a little in the build up in the up to Christmas. Here at Premier, we are actually busier than ever with a wide variety of both permanent and contract vacancies!

    I am therefore taking this opportunity to find out if you are still searching for a new job opportunity?

    If so, I would be grateful if you could help me help you by answering the following questions:

    * Where are you working currently and why are you looking for a new role?

    * Reason for leaving last position?

    * What locations / commute are you looking at?

    * What salary are you looking for?

    * What type of role are you looking for?

    * Companies/industries that you have a particular interest in? If you have been to a particular company for an interview this too would be very helpful.

    If you wish us to fast-track your application, please provide a contact reference from your last two places of employment.

    If you could submit your most recent CV for our records this will definitely help your search.

    I look forward to speaking further over the coming weeks and securing work for you asap.

    Kind regards,


    Emily

        Yeh I know, but I just feel I should give them a taste of their own medicine!

          Ask for a detailed breakdown of their company accounts for the last 5 years.
          Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

            Hi

            It's that time of year when the majority of contractors try to relax a little in the build up to Christmas. Here at Blaggers Ltd., I am actually busier than ever trying to find companies dos that I can gatecrash.

            I am therefore taking this opportunity to find out if you are still planning to throw corporate bashes for those unfortunate companies whom you call clients?

            If so, I would be grateful if you could help me help you by answering the following questions:

            * Where is the next bash and who will you be holding it for?
            * Reason for the bash?
            * What locations will the future bashes be held at?
            * Who should I impersonate to get in?

            If you wish me to fast-track my attendance, please provide photos from last year's bashes.

            If you could submit a crate of champagne for my cellar, this will definitely help you get my presence.

            I look forward to speaking further over the coming weeks and getting hangovers c/o of your expense account.

            Kind regards,

            Blagger-in-chief
            MD, Blaggers Ltd

                  Ask for a full credit history and bank statements to verify their liquidity. Advise them that you can only fast track their questions once you are satisified that they have enough money to pay you if the client refuses to pay.
                  If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
