Another day and another email , this time from Vishal Vohra at
Rhealsoftware spamming me. This company sounds like it might be OK.
None of the usual spelling gaffs that make me laugh so heartily.
No, this time my mucker Vishal is offering a developer at £8 pounds
an hour. No shit.
At that rate I needn't turn up for work. Tell you what I'll
negotiate the deal and employ Vishals buddies to do all he hard
work.
Here is the email (abridged):

Dear Sir
I was going through your website and read about your Software
management services. We are a Microsoft Gold Certified
Partner software development company in India specializing in
.Net based development. We have extensive experience in building
applications (web as well as desktop) for various industries
such as construction, project management, insurance, real
estate, financial services & banking, accounting and
services & dispatching. We are currently undergoing the CMMI
Level 3 appraisal process and hope to achieve the certification by
the end of this year.
As you may be aware, off shore outsourcing has become extremely
feasible and is an accepted norm these days. Hence I thought there
might be some possible interest in outsourcing development work to
us. We specialize in Web Enablement, Enterprise Application
Integration and database related workflow applications. We
also have tremendous experience in integrating existing
applications with all Microsoft Office applications such as Word,
Excel, Project etc. and QuickBooks as well as SharePoint. We assure
substantial cost benefits, high quality work & timely delivery
schedules. Further, I visit our clients 2-3 times a year in
the US and the UK and can certainly try to meet with you personally
during my trip later this year.
Now, I am sure you are wary of outsourcing work to someone
you have never met. We have another proposition that has worked
successfully for many of our existing clients. In order to develop
the trust (both ways) and to prove our commitment, what we do is
develop the software and put it on our server for you to see &
evaluate. You can monitor our progress daily. We work on mutually
agreed milestones and you only pay us when you are
satisfied after a successful completion of a
milestone, we give you the code at that point. There is NO RISK to
you as there is no upfront payment required. This proposition has
worked very well for us in the past as we believe we can deliver
the quality development services. In fact, 60% of our
clients have switched to us from other offshore development
companies as we are more productive and efficient than other
organizations. For more information, please visit our
website at http://www.rhealsoft.com .
Also, if you need any references, I would be happy to provide you
with the same.
Our rates are extremely competitive and are as follows:
Junior
Developer
GBP8/hr
Mid Level
Developer
GBP11/hr
Senior
Developer
GBP13/hr
QA
GBP6/hr
I do look forward to your reply.
Thanks.
Thanks,
Vishal Vohra, Director
