Hello all!

I’ve been reading all posts regarding this “famous” WM5 Magician ROM and has so, I’ve decided to post a small (made up) story about this situation. I hope you like it :-)

The High Skilled liar

-----------------------

Letter from a unemployed guy:

Dear Sirs,

I’ve noticed that you’re looking for someone high skilled with a PhD, for a position has a Technical Director / CTO on your company. Has so, i’ve taken the liberty of sending you my resumé which i think, fulfils your requirements.

Best regards,

B.

Response letter from company YXZ

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your excellent resumé. We are very interested on meeting you and as so, we would like to have a small meeting on next Wednesday. Please don’t forget to bring along your PhD sealed certification.

Best regards,

A.

Response Letter from a unemployed guy:

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately I’ve lost my PhD sealed certification. But i’m free to meet up with you on Wednesday.

Best regards,

B.

Response letter from company YXZ

Dear Sir,

I’m afraid that we really need to see your original sealed PhD certification, since this position is of great importance. Since your resumé has exactly what we are looking for, we are willing to wait a few days for you, while you get your new copy of the original PhD diploma from your university ABC.

Best regards,

A.

Response Letter from a unemployed guy:

Dear Sirs,

Unfortunately, my wife got sick and requires 24hs attention during this month. She has injured her spine and I can’t leave her alone for too long. And has so, i don’t have time for getting a new certificate due to that. So if you’re willing to accept my candidacy without the PhD, I might have a few minutes to meet you up.

Best regards,

B.

Response letter from company YXZ

Dear Sir,

I understand your situation but our company has a strict policy about contracting persons that are proven to be certified. Since your resumé caused a great impression on us, we decided to contact the University ABC that you have pointed, so to figure out a way of solving this situation. Unfortunately we couldn’t get any response about your diploma (no one knew you). We also have obtained the information that you can request it by phone, and that it will be mailed to your home. We will continue to wait for you a few days more.

P.S.: We hope that your wife is feeling better.

Best regards,

A.

Response Letter from a unemployed guy:

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your caring. I have had another situation…I’ve contacted my university but they can’t find my certificate anywhere. I’m sorry but I can’t send it to you. Besides, my car has broken and it’s hard to go meet you since there’s no easy transportation to your company. Has so, I’m must decline this proposal. Thank you for your time.

Regards,

B.

Response letter from company YXZ

Dear Sir,

Has our last offer, we are willing to meet with you at your university, if you can spare a few minutes ( btw, we hope that your wife is feeling better now) where we will sort out this situation. We just need a proof that you have a PhD, and we will accept you for the CTO position. Please, just name the day and time and we will meet there.

Regards,

A

..Needless to say, that company YXZ never got a response.

Cheers :-)
