Dear Recruiter,

First of all thanks for contacting me for the role which you have in mind. Let me tell you that I am extremely happy and contented at my current workplace. It provides a competing salary, a challenging environment and world class culture.

However, I am always open to better opportunities. But finding a time to get on a call for every inMail/message/opportunity is tough. So, let's continue this async form of communication where you give me details of the job and let me decide if I want to pursue it further.

Few details which I am looking for:

• Salary range Kindly do not ask my current CTC as I am not supposed to tell you that. As a recruiter, you're very much aware of the competing salary ranges in my domain with relevant experience. If the recruitment process requires the knowledge of my current CTC, I am sorry but I won't be further interested into that.
• Company Name If not an extremely famous brand, then please provide company's URL and background.
• Profile I do not pe

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
