Ummm, whhhaaatt?
I like how the only English in this one is what they copied directly from PSI's site
I'm going to formulate a reply with some REALLY big thesaurus words in it when I get back from sitting. If anyone has suggestions let me know!
Here is my first reply (I have multiple email addresses, so I'll just play with him from all):
I’m sorry but our business does not meet the following qualifications of yours:
* The sitter keeps regular office hours and responds to client inquiries and complaints promptly.
* The sitting service screens applicants for employment carefully. (we don’t have any)
* The sitting service provides initial and ongoing training for its sitters. (we don’t have any)
* The sitter phones to confirm, or has the client phone to confirm, that the client has returned home.
Sorry that we will not fit your needs.
