£130 a day contract in London is scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything with any vague sort of skill.
Absolutely this.
I have seen data entry jobs in London paying upwards of 150 a day.
What work are you hoping to get into?

I might end up troubleshooting a computerised ordering system that is intended for Chinese restaurants here guys (in London) lol! I had no idea contracting can get this sort of $$. I'm in the wrong job!!!

Here was me thinking £130 was low! IT roles will pay much more than that outside of London. My work was offering £400-£450 a day for 3 months cover in my role....nearly quit my job and took the contractor role!
This. Remember you have to keep yourself afloat between contracts and there will be no sick or annual leave pay.

Others have said what you require, but I'd just like to add in that contracting is not all it's cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong I love contracting, I had an M5 at 25 years old for crying out loud, but the amount of people I've seen laid off without much noticed was ridiculous, and in the current climate it's hard to find work that isn't already outsourced so they were flailing in the wind for quite some time - not something to look to if you have dependents, I would hope that I am financially secure by the time I settle down, but if not then I'd consider going permy if only for securities sake.
Don't know why I went on a random contracting babble, my bad.
Sounds like a standard crap recruiter mail out. I get a ton of these daily. No way I'd do that though, the length of time is too short, and the info given was useless which gives me no confidence in the person in charge of submitting me for the role.
