Dear (insert your name),

I am working with a company in (roughly your area but not specific and probably more than 100 miles from your nearest city) seeking candidates who have good skills in (very broad term 1), (very broad term 2), C++ and (redundant broad term 3).

There are a variety of positions available with different types of contract, which is my excuse for not knowing anything about the job, if it actually exists.

Salary would be around (3 times your normal rate) although if you actually did get an offer it would be (1.1 times your normal rate, max).

If you are interested, please let me know so I can set up a 30 minute telephone interview with a more senior recruiter who also knows very little about this position. He only wants to make sure you don't sound like a moron so he can forward your resume rewritten with C++/.NET/Python/Matlab/LAMP screaming in Arial Black 32pt Bold centered at the top.

If you are interested, we will arrange a gauntlet interview with a minimum of 3 interviews before you get a clear idea of what job is actually on offer. You will probably be rejected and the client will never call you to let you know.
