    Email from agent

    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?

        What surprises me is the fact that he wants to know the projects in client's plan so that he could send his contractors around

          If the OP is an exact quote it reads more in the line of "What is your availability next year, so i can send you some more unsolicited e-mails then" It asks for your plans not ClientCo plans

              If it's an exact quote then CF need to take on some proofreaders. And why are they sending an email aimed at a Client, to a contractor?

                it's often easier to guess a person's clientco email than their personal one...
                merely at clientco for the entertainment

                  It does read like some of the Bob specs I have to deal with.

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