Spot the mistake...

I spotted this template in our files today, it has been sent to literally hundreds of clients...

Professional Engagement Letter

In order to meet our professional requirements we need to ensure that an up to date engagement letter is maintained on our files in respect of each client. Therefore I enclose engagement letters for both the limited company and you personally.

The letters set out our respective responsibilities and I should be pleased if you would review the documents to ensure you are in agreement with there contents. If you are satisfied, please sign the letters returning one copy of each to us and retaining the other for your own records.

I cringed

*cringe*

This comes from a woman who sent an email round telling us to watch our spelling and grammer!

No, that wasn't a typo

leowyatt · 11-11-2008, 17:12

The whole thing reads like it was written by an idiot who is trying to sound clever by using fancy turns of phrase they don't understand.

Me too Sam, but for the love of god, this has gone out to our clients! An internal email fair enough... although saying that, the big boss himself cannot differentiate between they're/there/their.

Oh dear.
