Dear miss, dear mister,
We need urgently a translator who translates technical documents from english to italian for our firm [name deleted].
Therefor we need a test for his person in order to know his translation qualities . The english texte to translate as a free test is enclosed to the email.
So, you need a translator urgently.
Happens.
But in order to entice someone during the weekend, a well written message, addressed to your candidates by name (if you need to send to multiple persons because of the urgency, there is always mail merge), with a polite inquiry about availability, rates (and an offer to pay a rush surcharge) would have greater chances of success than a message from an aol e-mail address, with almost no information about the customer, obviously sent to all and sundry, full of errors and, to top it all, demanding a free test.
