The minute I read:

would have prompted me to trash the damn thing. Aside from the incorrect grammar, which I would presume a professional organization would not have issues with, the rest is an oxymoron.

1. The email is apparently from an Asian company. Go easy on the grammar. 2. I see too many Brits and Americans commit basic grammar errors every day.

I would make fun of them as well. The minute you put "professional" in front of your email, all bets are off :)

What's a "Brit"? Two-syllable words too big for us, are they?

Hey Leslie, This is a known scam, and you guessed right as to their mode of operation. You know what'd be a nice way to reply to them? Something like : "Yeah, Barres Holdings are acting on my behalf. Please go ahead and work with them." That'd be nice :-)

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkIn a previous job we were hit by a similar call/email - I asked for details of the company supposedly trying to register our company's name on .net, .biz etc but they wouldn't tell me, claiming that it was confidential. We registered the name with a different registrar for about 10% of the price they were quoting - I wanted to tell them to go to hell, but my boss (non technical) was worried that we would lose business and insisted we got the domain names.

Standard term, can be found in pretty much any dictionary.

I don't see what's wrong with the usage. Besides, in my country, British people are called Britishers.

Google define:brit[^] So, with the meaning you intend, it's found in one amateur American dictionary, and nowhere else.

Both "Britishers" and "Britons" are real words, at least, so you Inds use a real word -- but the Ams can't even manage that much.
