Here are two that have pulled my average down so far this week:
Q: As part of our GCSE ICT course we have to make E-Cards. In these E-cards we have to put photos in. As a result of this I have chosen a picture off of your website and I need permission for it to go on my coursework. Could you please reply back saying if I can/cannot use this?
A: Please tell me which photo you're interested in usingi. Most of them are © Well House Consultants and I can grant permission as described here, but a few are other people's pictures that we host, and I'll have to refer you to them for permission.
Q: I would like to attend C++, C#, Java courses at your training center. Could You please provide me with the necessary information regarding the mentioned courses?
A: We run a whole series of different C and C++ and Java courses ... but I need to know a little bit more before I can send you information about the right course. To start with, can you tell me if you have ever programmed before, and if so in what language ...
