Default vlookup first 4 characters only in a column

Hi

Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated -
I'm trying to do a vlookup whereby it only searches/has to match the first 4
characters in the utmost left column of the table and return the associated
cell. My non working formula is:

=VLOOKUP(A:A(left4),EmailList!A:C,3,FALSE)
whereby the A:A(left4) is meant to be the first 4 characters from the left
of the column.

Thks
Gus
