Hi Julie,

No disrespect to your company, but why on earth would anyone want to
send people from Nigeria to the UK for software training. Surely there
must be software training available in Nigeria for a fraction of the
cost of flying people to the UK and paying UK prices which (I imagine)
will be much higher than the equivalent in Nigeria.

I would not touch this with a barge pole if I were you. Tell them
you're all booked up for the next twenty years.

Best regards,

Ray
