 		A quick search for "Ophidian Enterprise" brings up only two results. This, and something here:

http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=1404&p=59372

The thing that pinged the search result:



Quote:
"Guten Morgen," says Daniel. "I am Daniel Carter, from Ophidian Enterprises. My assistant Ursula Humboldt has a 15 year old daughter who has recently gone missing. I know that whoever is assigned to the case might be inclined to think that the girl has just gone off with friends or is playing hooky or something, but this particular girl has suicidal tendencies and has threatened to take her own life more than once. I feel time is of the essence in order to save the child's life, and you can imagine how distraught her mother is. I'd appreciate it if you could forward this information to the investigator on this case and stress the urgency of the matter." He speaks with all the eloquence he can muster, knowing that the girl's life is at stake.


Seems to be OOG, but just thought it was interesting. Who knows if it'll become relevant.

The last email people received from "B M" (I believe GoblinQueenie posted it.) is formatted oddly, it's VERY long. If you scroll waaaay down there's a mass of Zalgo text at the bottom.

Messed with it till I could read it. Posted the results.

 		To comadarkvale:

I sent an email requesting an application, and that's what the email was titled.

To amandel:

Ha! Thanks. Very Happy

Attempted to send a response and got an error message saying I couldn't. Is it possible it's really on a 30 minute timer or is my gmail being screwy? I sent a separate email to B M answering, hopefully that counts!

 		So I got a reply after sending this message:

Quote:
Thank you for your consideration. I will be awaiting more information about the company and what part I can play in the company's future. I hope you have a wonderful day.



This is the first:

Quote:
We appreciate your interest in Ophidian Enterprises. After reviewing the applications received by the deadline, yours was not selected for further consideration.

The selection committee appreciates the time you invested in your application. We encourage you to apply for posted and advertised positions in our company, for which you qualify, in the future.

We wish you every personal and professional success with your job search and in the future. Thank you, again, for your interest in our company.


And this was the follow-up to 3 people including myself:

Quote:
We apologize, but we cannot accept applicants who will not take themselves and Ophidian Enterprises seriously. Due to the volume of our business, we seek to hire competent individuals who will better our business and be a valuable addition to the team.



Denied. Oh well.

I've sent a follow-up message. I'm curious as to why myself and 2 others were sent a second and harsher email telling that we were declined.
