Comments:

NEED INFORMATION OF THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE SENDME ASAP

information on what? and where should this information be sent?

The form used to ask the enquirer to add their email address if they wanted a reply, but so many people were too stupid not to so i had to add a section just for their email address, but as you will see, they could not even get that right.

i have no idea what they want  do you? and when is a url an email address, (as in how can an email address be www.) and how come it changes from .com to .cpm?

you may say its easy both should be .com, but when you get as many emails as i do, if people can not get their own information right, what chance do i have.

Subject: Plastic Float Switches

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are bulk manufacturing vendors to companies
supplying Plastic Float switches world wide. The mini
float switches and flow switches (15 and 20 mm) are of
standard variety to include both top and side mounted
single point NO or NC switches in PP, PUF, Nylon,
PTFE, Nitrile

Please let us know if you are interested in our
products.
 

Just because i mentioned about  float switches (click me) doesn't mean to say i want any (i do not sell ANYTHING) the bit that made me laugh is if they are a reputable company, why have they got a yahoo.com email address? look at my email address, mine is not a yahoo or any other "free" mail address

Dear Martin,

I live in xxxxx and have a holiday home in the xxxxxxxx of xxxxxxxxx Summer temperatures are up to +30 degrees Centigrade

 

Recently I built a pond, circular, the bottom section being 2mdia. x .0.5 m high and the following shallow section being 4mdia. x 0.5m high.( i.e. a total height of 1m).
The pond is fully lined and the edges are tiled. There are three conduits for cables and one conduit for a possible pond overflow in heavy rain.
Provision for a landside control box with mains supply is located approx. 5m from the pond rim.
 
I would now like to purchase the necessary Pumps, Filters and lighting. I very much , for safety reasons would like to use low voltage rather than mains voltage.
As an add-on I would also like to have an alternative solar lighting. The whole installation should be able to be remote controlled from the residence which is around 30m to 40m from the Pond.
 
Could you please let me have a proposed equipment list together with the delivery to xxxxxx or alternatively direct to Axxxxxx.What guarantee can you give me for your supply - is it also valid for the installation in xxxxxxx.I have a competent electrical company to carry out any work, for which of course they will give their guarantee.
 
What is your delivery time? Would it be better to carry out the installation before the winter period i.e. December or would spring be better. In any event I do not intend to stock the pond with fish before the spring 2005.
 
Hopefully with all your experience you can give me a reply prior to my next departure to xxxxxx in 10 days time.
 
I am a definite buyer if you can provide me with all the info. required and if your terms are commercially acceptable.
 
Your address I found on the internet under "Pond Lighting".
 
Thank you for your patience
 
Best regards

The thing that really tickles me, is the comment "am a definite buyer if you can provide me with all the info. required and if your terms are commercially acceptable" The thing is, if he is a definite buyer, why does it matter what the terms are, since to say one contradicts the other, and the old chestnut, I do not sell ANYTHING, so he did some research.? (NOT) No where on this website does it say i sell anything? (and no he didn't find us under pond lighting, as he claimed he did)

Dear Sir/Madam

I am enquiring about a quotation for pond maintenance/cleaning for either 4 times a year or twice a year.  

I’m from a company called xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   based in xxxxxx xxxxxxx. We are an M & E company and our expertise lies within buildings and not outside. However we have decided to expand to outside maintenance as well. We currently have a contract with a company in xxxxxx called Axxxxxx xxxxxxxxxt and it has a quite large pond outside. Its measurements are: 

12m long

5m wide

½ m deep  

It has 3 pumps for the water fountain. There are no fish in this pond as it is purely ornamental. Basically we would need someone to clean it out and make sure it carries on working and looking pretty.  

I understand that a site visit has to be arranged for a written accurate estimate but if you could give me a rough estimate based on the details I have stated it would very helpful.  

I look forward to receiving you reply shortly. 

Kind regards

 Jxxxxxxxxxx

Same old thing, i do not sell anything

======================================================

I am contacting you on behalf of an  xxxxxxt school in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  with a gardening project that we are about to embark on.

We have a small corner of our grounds that is fairly overgrown and we would
dearly love to be able to afford to convert it into a wildlife area that the
children can really make use of in their studies. We do have a small pond
with a huge frog population and a liner in need of changing. We are just at
the planning stages and hope that in the early autumn when the frogs are
larger and the children are back at school we can start the work.

Do you run any schemes ( or know of any?) to help local environmental
projects and if so how do we get involved?

Thank you for reading this and have a Happy Easter

How can i afford to  sponsor  a project ?
