Interns: They Right Real Good

I just received the following email from an intern at a popular New York PR firm, which will remain anonymous since I like the contact and the company. Word for word, this is what it said:

Dear Justine,

my name is ----- I'm working as inter for ----- Management Consuting company in New York City.
----- one of our artist he going to have a concert at ----- Friday 21 2007.
We would like to remaind you for a possible article on your newspaper.
I will attach also a Biography of -----.
Hope hear from you.
Thank you.
Best regards.

Please for any questions feel free to ask. Send a E-mail to -----

Aside from the numerous typos and horrifying sentence structure, it turns out that I don't work at a newspaper, and, if I did, I'm not sure how I would write an article "on" said newspaper. I also find "Friday 21 2007" rather mysterious.

Intern Training 101: Check your interns' emails before they send them (and possibly their resumes before you hire them).
