Suck on that.
Hi XXXXX,
I have read through the unformatted job description and it looks like a great fit for my background. XXX is not far from me, and since it is remote, when I do have to drive in, it wont be far.
I would like to hear more or be submitted on to the next phase.

Thank You,
(Now go and format that job description and make it look presentable.)

@Breffni-Potter @MattSpeller you guys still 10/100? I was reading a post from 2015 where you stated that. We're upgrading very soon. Politics.

We got the worst of ours sorted out with hand-me-down switches hehe. It's not a difficult project, mostly just preparation. Can be a nice opportunity to audit vlans and clean up old junk. Make sure you upgrade firmware etc.
