I don’t like to make fun of people, so I held onto this email for a few days, but then I decided it was just too good to not share.
In a heartbeat. haha! What a joke!
Josh was this for real? It almost seems so bad it has to be a fabrication?
Josh:
So I guess you decided not to hire me then, eh?
I needed a job but I guess U R not hiring you made fun of me n I feel really aweful.
Absolutely hilarious! My sympathies Bob. I am sure Joshua did not mean anything personal by posting your email LOL. The biggest laugh I’ve had today!
Hmm…I just now noticed that multiple authors are claiming to have written that email. LOL.
Too funny.

No way can that be real. It has to be a prank. Maybe someone who thinks SEO is a big joke decided to so how you’d respond?
I’m pretty sure it’s real. I think it’s just some 17-year-old kid from Indonesia (based on his name, which I removed) or the Phillipines or something, and that’s just his best attempt at English based on his use of it while texting.
my head hurts from reading/dicephering that.
Is this for real? Although I don’t suppose that person is from PH since I have had some work with them and they are good in communicating in English.
This kind of language is good only in SMS! Or maybe he emailed you via mobile email? Haha!
We are actually preparing to send out an RFP to SEO companies. Can you send me a link to your web site so that I may take a look? thank you
It’s so sad that such non serious SEOs are part of the industry. Lack of indepth knowledge as one has just started out is one thing, but to know how crucial SEO business actually is and then treat it so off-handishly is sad.
The intension was serious and the content was good (the letter) but I don’t understand why can’t you make it formal? When I’m reading it I feel like I’m reading a cell phone text message that you’re running out of characters.
Please do guys be serious, don’t make fun on your offering and proposals.
Doesn’t stack up, you cant be serious
Although you’ve confirmed it was probably some kid in Indonesia, I wouldn’t put it past some kid in the US either with they way they type/spell nowadays. He said he had 4 years experience with an seo firm, that’s a bit scary. Hope he wasn’t involved with content!
