Recruiters.. cold approaches suck!
Seems he didn't understand - read from the bottom up.
Hi Paul,
I did apologize for the nature of the cold approach. No one fully appreciates it. Not even me. But sometimes it simply has to be done.
Again, it was the only form of contact I had for you. If you are not interested then that’s ok. Not everyone will be.
Have you any ROR friends outside of your company that are looking for new roles?
The company are an English speaking company, experiencing massive growth. I have worked for a travel company myself, I am aware of the kind of salaries they pay. Does 60k not interest you?
Regards

Hi Joe,
Not interested - thanks. I don't appreciate the nature of a cold approach, nor do most of the ruby community from what I gather.
What makes it worse is that you emailed me on an email address associated with my employers - why would you do that?!
Please don't contact me again.
Thanks
