Hello,
I hope this email finds you well,
I am writing to you in regards to a business interview opportunity with XXX, the senior vice president of Ecommerce for XXX.
I received this email and I wondered, what would the interview subject if I asked them there thoughts on various numbers. Is 23 mysterious? Is 7 lucky? Is 69 funny? What’s pi to the 15th decimal place?
In regards to? Presumably they meant with regard to. Oh I forgot . . . Grammar doesn’t matter these days
Or ‘regarding’ or even ‘about’.
Agree. Tony J.
Brilliant – so the company has achieved magical success in Australia and elsewhere on what basis? Number of rabbits pulled out of hats? Oops, sorry, can’t mention numbers..
I presume the company in question was the Dharma Initiative and the numbers referred to were 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42?
The usual illiterate nonsense from the p.r. company where you’re only hired if you fail the IQ and literacy tests? Actually there’s more than one but we can’t mention numbers.
Anyone wonder why?

Black and white photos, video with grunge edges and that cool plugin that makes it look like 8mm home movies. What could be kewler than that?
OMG. YOLO.
