Dear teachers,
I sent out some job application forms to a few companies respectively a month ago,
and recently I received two offers from them (one from a Chinese company).
I was confused by the reply in one of the offer letters though:
"I am happy to have received your letter Ms.xxx, and it seems to me
you are the one I have been looking for a long time.
I hope you can be my arm and leg for my business operation..."
What is "arm and leg"?
Is this formal expression?
I have looked it up in my Oxford dictionary but I
couldn't find any idiom or expression that give me hints of what it means.
Please help, teachers.
Thank you.
Kitty.
