A HR-dude someone sends me a notification of a meeting that has been cancelled with the subject line "Suraj decline this meeting his baby is hospitalised he informed me now so I will reschedule this later". I never declined the meeting and AFAIK, I don't have a baby.
So I replied as follows:
Actually the subject of this message is scary.
If my wife sees it she will kill me. I don't have any babies,
please believe me!
and then the someone replies:
Hi Suraj,
I kept it in subject so immediately you can remove meeting from
your calendar as the candidate called me and informed that his
9 months old baby is hospitalised
Then, I figured what his subject actually meant. It was just missing a comma and a period:
"Suraj, decline this meeting. his baby is hospitalised he informed me now so I will reschedule this later"
