Tell them that you don't make important business decisions over the phone and tell them if the want to come over and meet you in your office you would be glad to speak with them. Assign one of your lowest employees to the meeting, exclusively. After the return to India, if they contact you again tell them how much your subordinate loved what they had to offer and tell them you would love to schedule a meeting with hire ups. Repeat until they stop calling.

You know. I can actually hear the exasperation in your voice there. It doesn't quite match the swearing I go with whenever I receive one of these bloody emails, but the exasperation's good.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest HemingwayThe "amusing" thing is that they physically would not be allowed to see some of the documentation we produce because it is so sensitive. Even if I were to take a complete leave of my senses and agree to offshore development, they would not be allowed to work on the projects. God bless the official secrets act.

So that California companies can hire you when they're looking for new outsourcing options :)

So, they're looking for a project requirement document of any size. Why dont you take them up on the offer...make up a fictional requirement document and let them fret over how much to charge for it. It would be intersting to see how much they charge to generate a software package that solves global warming.
