Some guy tried to bribe his way into his dream job with a fiver and some elaborate lies…

Some messer apparently took the time to apply to Cadbury for the position of 'Global Quality Manager' with experience that included 'super secret spy' and a reference from eBay.

This random application was clearly enjoyed as a novelty in the Cadbury offices as they replied to the chancer, explaining they needed to return the fiver he sent under the line 'Elizabeth *wink wink*'.

The letter, which may or may not be genuine we must add, went on to explain the rejection of the candidate for a number of reasons.

We regret to inform you, you did not get the job. from funny

Firstly, they did not seem to believe that his previous experience included 'Super secret spy work I legally can't talk about' and also seemed put off by colloquial phrases such as 'C'mon let me be a part of this awesome gig you've got going on'.

As well as these, admitedly valid reasons, the letter allegedly sent by a Cadbury executive called Alan Castle said eBay feedback is not a relevant reference and the attached sketch of an 'everlasting chocolate bar' was “unwarranted, absurd and quite frankly it scared us a little.”

Sounds like that is a definite no then...

Can't blame a guy for trying!
