Here's how I'd genuinely pitch one of these many, many, tired and tiresome attempts from what I now suspect are serial dreamers, honesty works every time;
"OK guys, helluva gamble but I'm finally going for it. I've bagged decent air-con offices (not the smartest building in town, but heh, you've got to start somewhere). I've got ten desk positions for FX traders. As you can imagine I can't pay that much; £20K basic and top commission and I've bagged a good deal for subsidised accommodation across town.
I can just about pay for your ticket out here to have a butchers. If you hit target and we hit team targets who knows where we can end up. I've ploughed in £300K seed capital (verifiable from audited opening statement of affairs), have a couple of good guys already on board and I reckon it gives us 6 months to create a decent pool of cash to then build something exciting..If it doesn't work heh wtf, what doesnt kill ya etc. eh?
Anyhow, if you're up for it and fancy a blast on the way let's know just pm me and I'll let you have a quick answer to any Qs you have/see all the docs etc..I want to be up and running and past the grazed knees stages inside 3 months..Thanks for reading.."
