  2. Scary guy says:

  3. rfaw says:

    ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

  5. 01sara says:

    Just Excellent!!!

  6. sam says:

    The letter is so british…no matter how egregious your behavior was, you’d still totally get a form letter from an american company.

    • inky says:

      I love this comment. So true.

    • michelle says:

      oh reginald…. I DISAGREE

    • epicwindad says:

      Astute Observation Win

    • TehVernon says:

      Yeah, but that’s only because the companies here in America are so afraid of frivolous and stupid time-wasting lawsuits that the populace seems to slap on them the INSTANT the company says or does anything that may be considered offensive. That line about the guy being scary, that would have instantly become a lawsuit about the guy’s feelings or some stupid crap like that.

  7. lwayswright says:

    that’s pretty funny!

  8. Sour Grapes says:

    I don’t think this is genuine.

    That’s all. I don’t hate anyone.

  9. Mr. D Paul says:

    I demand you remove that letter immediately!!!

    or you will be sorry!! I am scary you know? it says so right there.

  10. ninjadoom says:

    lol. Though short-lived, great job!
    x

  11. Paper Aeroplane says:

    Fly me!

  12. charmenia says:

    Funny

  13. keithmansfield says:

    I applied for two jobs at the BBC separated by five years. Both my rejection letters arrived with the same spelling mistake! Though neither was as funny as yours…

  14. culinaryabortionsofjapan says:

    I love it!

  15. ameo says:

    there will be some other time don’t you think !?

  16. slacker says:

    FAAAAAKE

    (The BBC is not at that address)

  17. ktr2003 says:

    man, that’s too funny,

  18. Anonymous says:

    So now we know the name of the fat hairy guy with the guns.

  19. angryxtian says:

    Must be a liberal with that behavior!

  20. thing says:

    i dont get it …

  21. Aku says:

    vittu en mä ymmärrä :D DD äää muut soomalaaset heebot, jelppikää miuta.

  22. FPB says:

    you’ve got to admire the british honesty surely? we can’t do the ‘have a nice day’ stuff with any sense of commitment but we are hopelessly genuine and apologetic at the same time. sorry.

    more straightforward thoughts back at the blog. great site – my favourite!

  23. PIe says:

    wow! its so….

    fake.

  24. Anonymous says:

    “So now we know the name of the fat hairy guy with the guns.”

    Ok that is the funniest thing I have ever seen here!!

  25. range says:

    skank ho! Now that’s a sure way of not getting hired.

  26. RedWhiteAndBoom says:

    Even if it is fake, that’s still hilarious. They’re all professional at first, and then somehow they manage to incorporate ‘skank ho’

  27. I do not think BBC understands what social media networking and Viral marketing is about.

    They are still living in the dark ages of the information highway!

  28. bwahahaha epic fail!

    Thatwas beautiful

  29. But she IS a skank ho.

    I thought media was about exposing the truth?

  30. angryatheist says:

    Must be a conservative with that behavior!

  31. anon says:

    Why is the signature Hilary Oliver and P.P Sandra Hahn?

  32. Sili says:

    “p.p.” stands for “per procurationem” – rougly meaning “on behalf of”.

  33. tirsden says:

    …I’d have hired him. O_o

  34. drapeau says:

    they spelled a vry important word rong

  35. mr d paul says:

    bvvgjh

  36. Furyous84 says:

    It’s from a book called “The Time Waster Letters” or something whereby that fella pestered the life out of a bunch of companies by constantly sending mad letters to them. It’s a funny old laugh.

  37. Myriam D. says:

    Hehehe. I can’t stop laughing about “You scare us.” lmao

  38. Kezzi says:

    Rofl. I live in Gloucester c:

    Seriously though, the beeb think they’re so funny.

    FAIL c:

  39. Butts says:

    Anyone notice that it is signed “Hilary Oliver?”

  40. Matthew says:

    The letter is one from the Timewaster’s Letters book mentioned earlier in the comments by Furyous – the author’s site (titled on a nom de plume) is http://www.robincooper.co.uk but his name is Robert Popper.

    I haven’t read it or seen it yet, but it sure looks like something worth getting my hands on. :)

  41. hoshiyama27 says:

    LMAO epicfail

    I love it xD

  42. Anonymous says:

    Could someone enlighten me? What word was misspelled? And how is this fail? *is confused greatly*

    • V says:

      ok… I’m not even sure why I am wasting time explaining this, but here it goes…
      It constitutes a fail because he aplied for a job, and instead of getting hired, he has not only doomed that endeavor, but also managed to be probably one of the least professional person to apply for a ob (I mean, really, who calls ANY of their ex-co workers “skank ho” and think it’s going to HELP them to get hired?? Also, I’d really like to see what he did to “scare” them!) Lmao!

  43. Anonymous says:

    Adviser is the British spelling. Advisor is the American spelling. It’s written like a Brit but perhaps the American slip suggests it’s fake?

  44. Anonymous says:

    Lol, this reminds me of the upcoming Will Farrel movie “Step Brothers” when they go to a job interview..

  45. Louis says:

    Ha a “skank ho”
    I wanna see his other projects :P
    Sounds interesting

  46. Kate the Great says:

    ..That’s how my last interview went…

  47. Nate says:

    Also, PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL epic fail.

  48. Ummwtf says:

    Neologistic fail.

  49. Anon says:

    What if the head of human resources IS a skank ho?

  50. PloCoon says:

    Love it!

  51. michelle says:

    marry me

  52. Nick says:

    I say bullshit. I got my current job by calling the head of human resources a skank ho.

  53. WTF lol says:

    fake as hell, the bbc would write such a thing lol

  54. haho says:

    its a photoshop job, if you look at the paragraph that says, “you scare us” its whiter then the rest of the page… look

  55. haho says:

  66. Dino says:

  67. I can’t believe this…

  68. errand boy says:

  69. Thank you for some other informative site. Where else may I get that type of information written in such an ideal approach? I have a venture that I am just now running on, and I’ve been at the glance out for such information.
