Sure, I would love to send you an updated copy of my resume, provided you can
explain the grammatic errors in your sentence above, along with appropriate
corrections.

Thanks!

Now I am sad.

Hello Jason,

      I don't know where i made mistake can you explain it.
Thanks&Regards

It’s worthwhile to note I get these all the time from consulting groups claiming to operate in the U.S. and hiring for U.S. positions. No, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that the messages be written by someone with a command of the English language.

Update, June 5th. As I have been receiving some mail on this, I thought I’d take a moment to point out an obvious truth.

If it is expected that a contractor or prospective employee possess excellent communications skills, it’s completely within the realm of reasonability for said prospective candidate to expect no less from a company or any agent operating on behalf of a company to offer the same level of professionalism. If you’re going to contact me and consume some of my professional time, at least extend me the courtesy of sending a message that is comprehendable.

It’s simple, really. If you can’t run with the big dogs, please step down.

Thanks.
