<human>: Today by certain circumstances, I, by chance, got hold of the entire clients list of a rival salon business. 

The thing is, the owner of the rival business once was an employee of mine, and then left with my contact list to start her own business in another part of town. My own salon has, by the decade that's passed, expanded to two branches, and I am now looking at expanding to the area the said rival is located at. I have already rented out a good location, and am in the process of finishing up the interiors with an architect.

Circumstances very complicated allowed me to get hold of the said contacts list. I obviously want to use it to directly start marketing to a already focused group in the very area they were collected in. 

I want to know what Reddit thinks of it?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: got ex-employee-now-rival-business' contacts list. Will be using it for my own selfish purposes.
