    Excerpt from email received from agent

    I had a call today from an agency. I had great difficulty in understanding what the woman was saying to me so I asked her to send an email with her questions.

    Below is an excerpt.

    Greetings from Eve Sagar Technologies.

    I wish to take an opportunity to brief you more about the job profile. Please find the job specification.

    Kindly refer your friends, colleagues and relatives.

    Request you to modify your CV according to the job specification which you have got hands on experience. This will help n short listing your profile with the client.

    Feel free to tell us which position you are looking for.

    Is it just me.... or is the highlighted line not a really strange thing to write?

    What is the strangest communication you've had from an agent?

      I don't have anything to match that, but I'd think twice about working for someone called Ebenezer:

      Eve Sagar Technologies LLC

      Ebenezer started his career as an electrical engineer for India's first privately owned best super specialty hospital Apollo branch
      What is a hospital Apollo branch?

      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Sound like it's Bob's sister.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            ... and evidently very professional given the email.

              If his *impressive* CV doesn't put you off, the Project Success page should!

              Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.
