Jerry;

Who knows – Renior may soon receive e-mail advertisements suggesting an “out of Country Company” that can provide programming needs at very good rates. In this case it might be addressed something like: Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. IT Professional. Nadya, having supplied her name, will receive a more personalized e-mail. I have seen rates of $10 an hour being quoted. Am I being skeptical?
