Me: Dear John:

I’m afraid you have my resume confused with another. I am looking for admin work, not house cleaner. Although your offer is generous, I must decline.

Funny thing though, I received the same job offer (word for word) from a different person. He like you offered $20/hour, didn’t specify the location of the apartment, and was willing to send me a check. Maybe you know him, James Williams, he’s married to Darlene – pregnant with their 1st child.

Anyway, should I decide to become your latest victim of a counterfeit scam, I will give you a shout.

Have a wonderful day!

I would love to see the look on this guys face when he reads this email.
