The name sounds English (though I don't want to disclose here) and I found him on LinkedIn. Yes, I agree with you!

it's often easier to guess a person's clientco email than their personal one...

It is an exact quote and he sent it to my Work email address !

It becoming a very candidate driven market and it would help us both if we know what kind of candidates you are looking at next year so i can build my shortlist to send over when you need it.

Hi Fattie,

I hope your ready for an busy Christmas period and you have done all your wrapping.

I just wanted to know what your plans are around projects for 2015. It becoming a very candidate driven market and it would help us both if we know what kind of candidates you are looking at next year so i can build my shortlist to send over when you need it.

So with all that in mind what are you plans?

All the best,
***** *****

Anyone else got an email from CF with the same content?
