Dear EO , remember a few years ago when we tried hard (unsuccessfully) to place you with a few clients ? You will remember what a good bunch we were.
The recession has hit us hard and we are struggling, are there any openings for us that you can identify and let us know about. please.

no offer of a bribe or anything

It's a trap!

The fact that they are unsuccessful at placing people and are struggling may be connected. Just a hunch...
