An HR manager has been fired after sending a letter to an applicant warning him “Let me tell you now, if you speak no English, I will send you home.”
The letter to Minh Huynh went viral after the applicant’s daughter tweeted a photo of that letter.
Non-English speakers really have it hard bc my dad just got rejected from this job offer and the email literally stated “Let me tell you now, if you no speak English I will send you Home-“ Wtf.. + all of Bruce’s emails we’re also very unprofessional & passive aggressive pic.twitter.com/YDXNHVW7bH

The incident was first reported by Next Shark, which received a response from Dash Delivery LLC, announcing the employee’s dismissal.
A response was also sent directly to the family.

A spokesperson told Next Shark, “I have already contacted Mr. Huynh to express my sincere apologies…I hope your readers truly can accept our sincere apologies for such an insensitive remark.”
Huynh’s daughter, Emily, says the family is moving on and has accepted the company’s apology. She also explained that her father is Vietnamese, but speaks Cantonese to her mom.
Update: Bruce himself has apologized with an email stating that he understand his wrong-doings and he begged for forgiveness. My dad forgives him and just hopes that people learn from their ignorance. pic.twitter.com/6OZWN7sxES

The family has already received offers to help them sue, but said it is satisfied with the response from the company and is ready to move on with their lives.
