A simple 'No' should suffice.

That's about as much as I could manage while still remaining courteous.

        Subject:        OT: Where are bill rates going?


I just received the following email from a recruiter for a senior DBA
production support 6 month contract position  (plus tuning and application
enhancement thrown into the mix) in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. I 
was
submitted for the contract 2 months ago (at $60/hour W2) and subsequently
was begged to reduce that to $55/hour (I reluctantly agreed and are now
learning the hard way not to appear desperate or talk money up front, by 
the
looks of it).

>snip
OK, Is there ANY way at all you could reduce your rate to $38.00/hour for
the xxxxx position?
>snip

Any suggestions for a suitable reply (I have several in mind but would 
like
to remain courteous at this stage).
