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!

Hello Jason,

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.
