My reply is as below:
Hi Sylvia,
Thank you for your recognition for my work. I’m rather tempted with your offer. But sorry to say, i am still committed to my current job, and will not discontinue within the short term.
Would like to thank you once again for your invitation. Will hope to work together again in future.
Cheers,
Lay Hiang
And in my spam mail, i have another invitation also through coroflot:
Hi Lay Hiang,
got your contact from the web coroflot. We are currently looking for any fresh grad/or experience designer to come onboard our design team, no working experience required but attitude counts. We have an immediate vacancy so do give me a buzz should you be interested.
Have a great day:)
Warmest Regards,
Raymond Tay | Art Director
Actually, i am very TEMPTED… Hahaha~ But i started to be inferior about my work again. Nothing impressive.
