Sent my apprentice off to flyer some houses in a posh area we were working in today. Got an email back entitled 'the letter I received today' today and thought, oh great, a quote request. Couldn't have been more wrong. This could possibly be the rudest email I've ever received!!
..through my letterbox in Harmston. The letter is full of errors and if, as you state that attention to detail is one of the things you are offering, then perhaps you need to read your letter again.
I could go on...... Oh please... don't.
My suggestion, take a look at how the letter is written, get someone to check it for accuracy. Change your logo, it really is very 'old'. Strange that, your the only person in 5 years to not like our logo.
Please read this email in the spirit in which it is sent. You are the wife of a local electrician and/or plumber and are ****ed off I'm flyering their turf. Letters full of inaccuracies will not improve your chances of competing in this highly competitive market. Thanks for that, I'm booked up till Christmas, but glad to have you telling me how to compete in a competitive market. Mine is now going in the bin, as I would imagine most of those you have put through letterboxes will. Thank **** for that, if this is what you are like over a missing word, god knows what you would be like to work for. Marketing material needs to make an impact and give confidence so when you engage with a company they are offering attention to detail in all their dealings with you. You fell at the first hurdle. Thanks, good job I value the opinion of worms and stinging insects more than yours.

I was going to send back a rage email but instead decided to send back a 'thanks for your valued feedback email'
Anyone else ever found someone as rude as this?? Both my apprentice and my customer found it incredibly funny when I read it out to them.

- The first paragraph - My wife and I moved back to at the end of 2011. Where did you move back to? Missing word here and that is in the first paragraph! I will give her this, the flyer is missing one word in the first sentence.
- Self-certify your own electrical work? I don't think so. Independent certification is what is required. Yes, of course I can self-certify my own work, that is the point of competent person schemes you idiotic fool.
- How can you personally carry out and supervise all of the work. You either do it yourself or supervise others. Again this wording really doesn't make sense. Very simple really, I supervise other people who work for me on the job and I am there working myself.
- At the start of 2.) you have put the letter 1? It would be better to put 'one'. Since when was the number 1 a letter?? Why does it matter if I write the number 1 or the word one. Seriously.
- No 4 - sorry it this just too wordy. Seriously. If you are going to criticise my wording at least make sure your email reply has no typos in it.
