Be my special 'designer' girlfriend

Through e-mail, the boss of a publishing company has offered himself for sexual services to his employees, and asked a prospective employee to be his "designer" girlfriend.
Mr Shankar Venkataraman, a 45-year-old Indian national with permanent residency here, sees nothing wrong in sending such e-mails to staff and job applicants.
In an e-mail to the prospective employee, the owner of eShan Publishing wrote: "I will soon be starting to travel... so I do wish to have you as my special 'designer' girlfriend and travel companion."
In a separate e-mail to his employees, he wrote: "I have no qualms to announce that I am available for SEX relief, we may get a special treatment and its best we keep things between ourselves, rather than looking for an outside avenue, which can endanger the journey."
When contacted, Mr Venkataraman said The New Paper's questions were "media blackmail" and "extortion of information by ransom", and challenged us to reproduce the e-mails in print.
