Hi,

This is Scott Bean from Mad Software. A manager at Microsoft has recently invited
me to join LinkedIn and I have found it to be an extremely useful online business
tool giving me access to almost unlimited contacts in any industry.

LinkedIn lets you reach recommended employees, hiring managers and business
partners through referrals from people you already know and trust. You won't
receive spam or unwanted requests since people can only reach you if I decide to
forward a message to you because it looks like a good opportunity.

It would be great to have you in my professional network on LinkedIn. It's free to join
through the link below.

Scott Bean
Mad Software Inc.
President / 3D Software Engineer

given that the address in question is not a public address with a real person behind it, this can only be seen as spam. are Linked In desperate for members?
