London Bridge terrorist claimed he had ‘respect for all’ just weeks before attack – The Sun

TERRORIST Usman Khan claimed he had “respect for all” as he tried to land a job weeks before his attack, The Sun can reveal.

The London Bridge killer had been without regular work since being freed from prison in December last year.

But as he plotted his attack, Khan was telling employers he always gave his “upmost to customer service” and said was “open to advice and learning”.

And in a grim irony, he bragged he was “equally confident lone working”.

In one recent pitch for a sales job, the 28-year-old insisted: “I am someone who keeps his word and gives the upmost to whatever I do.

"I give upmost to customer service and having respect for all.”

The extraordinary glimpse into Khan's twisted psyche emerged 72 hours after he knifed two to death.

'OPEN TO ADVICE'

He began to compose his CV soon before he was freed in December halfway through a 16-year sentence.

By February, he began to send it to employers from his bedsit inside a bail hostel in Stafford.

Tellingly, he kept the first line of his address secret to avoid revealing where he lived.

His resumé targeted telesales and direct sales companies but provided no dates for his previous work as a door-to-door salesman and in cold-calling telesales — again to disguise his years in jail.

In the poorly spelt CV and cover letters, he said he hoped to earn just £8 an hour — roughly the minimum wage.

It listed a string of minor qualifications commonly on offer to prisoners.

In the profile section, he wrote: “I work well as part of a team to achieve and exceed sales targets and am equally confident lone working, building productive relationships with customers.”

Khan continued to look for work until about the beginning of August when, sources suggested, he lost interest and his mind turned to violence.
