Recruiter FUBAR

I received the following e-mail from a recruiter last week. This letter truly takes the cake for sloppiest e-mail sent by a recruiter. This recruiter is so incompetent that he forgot to take out the blanks in his form letter.

Take a look at the actual letter, in all its glory. Please note that I've replaced the actual name of the recruitment company and job position (no, I am NOT a Sr. Basket Weaver).
