It's not Friday, yet, but I just had to share this with y'all.
Like many professionals, I maintain my resume online so that those seeking services, help, or mentoring can easily contact me. However, this also leaves us open to the oddball inquiry--frequently with ridiculous grammar, spelling, and offers.
This one cracked me up mostly because of its ambiguity:
"HI. I am by the representative of the international financial company incorperation. We research for the man in your country for good
cooperation. If you are have interested to work with us, write to email with [address]."
So, beware of someone looking for "the man in your country for good cooperation."
LOL
