Hi,
If i received a wrong call (asking for someone person) what should be my reply.
Here is the senario , Person X calls to Y's place and asking for Z
x:"Can I speak to Mr Z."
now what should Y say ,which one would be the most appropriate reply (polite reply)
Y:"Nobody stays here with that name"
or
Y:"No such person stays here"
or
something else

Thank you

Some men sees things as they are and say why??? I sees things that never were and say why not!

Both your answers are good, but if you need or want to be polite you should add "I'm sorry' or 'I'm afraid' to the beginning of the answer.

'I'm sorry, there is nobody here with/by that name. Bye Bye.'
Cheers
