HAHAHAHAHA VERY FUNNY
If this is true for with regard to Infosys, Oracle, and CDAC staff, then it shows that these people are fit only to write codes and their english skills are pathetic.
DIO,
IMO, I belive that these leave letters were written by the staff of these companies like Peons, Admisnistrative people etc... and not software engineers as such. I donot however vouch that all software engineers are very good in English. I have seen that even people in reputed colleges such as REC's write absurd letter such as the ones listed above. That is b'cos some of them were educated in Tamil medium and got into the colege by reservation. If REC's conditions were such, then just think of other self financing institutions where the cut off mark is even less.

I am a Gents and not a Ladies.
Well I am not a wee bit surprised that some of these letters were written by softward engineers. I have a friend who is a software professional and works for Pepsico in Tx. His english is attrocious, to say the least.
That his computing skills is extraordinary, is another story!
