Something tells me it`s not right (apart from the fact his start date is last week)... it came through `Structured property advertising`

"My name is Keith Nelson, a travel agent based in Derbyshire,
Sheffield. I have a couple on their honeymoon that would like to
visit your part of country and they need accommodation. Upon
research, i found your listing. I would really appreciate it if you
could get across to me your price listings and your preferred option
of payment.

I await your reply"

Well, I haven't lived in England for a while, but when I did, Derbyshire was a county, Sheffield a town, and Sheffield was in S.Yorks anyway.

The English is not far from perfect. Only a couple of jarring phrases, the geographical oddity, and the 'My name is' beginning give it away. Without the Derbyshire, Sheffield thing, I would have given this the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, that 'my name is...' seems to crop up time and time again.
