To whom it may concern:

After placing an unsolicited phone call without leaving any message – for which I have never granted permission to anyone – this unfamiliar person spammed my inbox with unsolicited email, twice in one go no less.  (copy of spam attached).

The egregiously deceitful subject line does not escape my attention either:  a "follow up email" is one which has been prompted by actual contact and conversation, and is therefore welcome on the recipient's end.  This hastily scribbled beggar's plea quoted below, which insinuates that I should concern myself over lending voluntary and unpaid assistance to its author in the performance of his or her tasks, where no previously established business relationship exists to presume to so obligate me, was sent twice to my inbox in the same five minutes.

I have reliable contacts at [shitty-recruiter-firm] already – competent professionals who know their job, know my boundaries, and have been a pleasure to work with when I have needed them.  I neither need nor want random rookie shit-tier hires (literally–as in those who require H1B visas to escape third world shitholes where people literally crap in the streets and wipe with their bare hands) putting me on additional email lists and treating me like I'm their next meal ticket or some resource to tap.  I do not know them, and I do not owe them.

Furthermore, I have contacted your office several times in the past few years to sort out and resolve this very same problem.  Each time I have been assured it has been dealt with, yet each time it resurfaces after another 6 or 8 or 12 months.  Therefore I am asking you to please remove my name and contact information from general circulation and ensure this time that this situation will NEVER RECUR AGAIN.  I do not believe that is too much to ask.  As I mentioned, I have contacts there I have appreciated.  I do not need cold call rookies pestering me – and I'm sure you don't want the reputation of being the sort of company that encourages such shoddy practices either.

If my tone seems a bit abrasive, it is because I am weary of having to repeatedly address this problem with your offices over the past few years, again and again, after being assured it has been handled.

I would like to thank you for your prompt and EFFECTIVE attention to this matter, this time.  Kindly make it so.
