When spellcheckers attack!!

Looks like one poor sod trusted auto-correct a little too much - got this in an email this evening:

Our client is a house hold named financial services provider based in Surrey. This is a good opportunity to work for a leading organisation who consider It to be an integral part of their success. The client is renounced for offering lengthy extensions to contractors who perform well.

Ouch.
