My CPD Return has been Not Reviewed

Simon Barker
I got a really strange email from the IET today, saying:

It is our pleasure to confirm that your CPD Return has been Not Reviewed - Completed for Year: 2018



If you have any comments please direct them to  using Career Manager

 



There is some really odd wording in there.  I guess having your CPD return "Not Reviewed" is like the tax man not reviewing your tax return for the year - it's considered a good thing.  Something seems to have gone wrong with the next line, too.  It looks like there is supposed to be some contact information there, that somebody forgot to fill in.


I have seen phishing emails with better grammar than that.

    Fair enough, murphy is always prowling and looking for any opportunity to vomit into the porridge bowl of the unwary. It could have been a lot worse - google "dear rich ***" for instance [from the Snopes site]:

    The National Westminster Bank in England admitted last month that it keeps personal information about its customers — such as their political affiliation — on computer. But now Computer Weekly reveals that a financial institution, sadly unnamed, has gone one better and moved into the realm of personal abuse.



    The institution decided to mass-mail 2000 of its richest customers, inviting them to buy extra services. One of its computer programmers wrote a program to search through the databases and select its customers automatically. He tested the program with an imaginary customer called Rich ***.



    Unfortunately, an error resulted in all 2000 letters being addressed “Dear Rich ***”. The luckless programmer was subsequently fired.
