Dear Mr. Shadow,

Your previous employer, Mr. Lamont Cranston, has recommended
you for
consulting work with our US office.  This would allow you to
work 20
hrs/week from home.  Our need is such that we would be
willing to offer
you up to 150.000 euros/yr (~$197,970.12) as a non-exclusive
retainer
for these services.  Please respond at your earliest
convenience.

We were particularly impressed by what we saw on your Web
site.


Oops, but you missed that because you only allowed
provincial mail in.
And didn't let them see your Web site.
