Your english does not need help theres does that was horrible! i agree with artbroker looks like it was translated through babelfish i tried converting english to italian to send my brother in italy an email and he laughed at me because it was extremly mangled.

Is that a customer from Nigeria ? or some other African Country ?

No offense here, just checking.

- nice one.

Hope it all works out for you

At least he/she is making an effort to contact you - what does nationality matter (in ref. to nigerian / african - watever)

yeah, I agree with waterlily 's said. what does a natinality matters , then we work and comes together if can not work , then we can choose , and some will leave away .

Yeah, such funny ones occur.. In the company I worked for we had a customer from windhoek, namibia and he sent emails close to that. We took it as someone's joke first, not very serious. But then there was a really very nice order from him and we earned good money. He used a translator, btw. So it's very nice that people who even don't have a good command of english are still interested in our services.

I can give one advice: as some serious misreadings could happen that might influence your whole deal, try to recommend the person to use more exact words and more figures. Don't feel bad about asking to explaine what he wrote, he'll tell it in other words and maybe next time the translating program will have a better luck. And you'll no way hurt his feelings by asking cos he knows pretty well that he the problem is the language. If the person knows what he wants or is simply serious, he'll make attempts to clarify what he said.

But that one was basicly clear although funny

Good luck.

Nationality does matter. In some cases, for example, Nigeria is a high risk country for business. I believe, many people in this forum receive following email...
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT

From: Mrs. Mariam Abacha
No 1/13 Sani Close Kano
Kano- Nigeria.

My Dear
I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha
former
Nigeria Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of
Cardiac
Arrest, Since after my husband's death my family is under restriction
of
movement and that not withstanding, we are being molested by the
present
democratic president and our Bank Account both here and abroad are
being
frozen by the Nigerian Democratic Government Furthermore, my elder son
was
in detention by the Nigeria Government for more interrogation about my
husband's assets and some vital documents, Following the recent
discovery
of my husband's Bank Account by the Nigeria Government with Swiss Bank
in
which the huge sum of US$700 Million and DM450 Million was logged.

I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that I was able to
move out
the sum ofUS$25.5 Million Dollars through a security company in
Europe,
which was secretly defaced and is sealed in two Metal boxes for
security
reasons, I therefore personally, appeal to you Seriously and
religiously for
your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I
believe
it will be safe since

I cannot leave the country now due to the restriction of movement
imposed on
the members of my family by the Nigeria Government. Please kindly send
me your
telephone/fax number and also your full names/address through
EmailAddress
which I will hand over to my family Lawyer to prepare you documentarily
to
claim the funds from the security company, However, the money is
already
with a security company in Europe and as soon as you indicate your
interest
my Lawyer shall send you the Air-Way Bill of the Luggage and other
related
documents so that you can proceed to claim the Luggage from the
security
company, Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 15% of the total sum
while 80% is to be for me and my family for profitable business
investment
which you will advice me preferable properties in your country
subsequent to
my free movement by the Nigeria Government. 5% is mapped out for
expenses as
your government may demand for tax and it also covers your telephone
bills
and expenses in the process of withdrawing the boxes from the security
company.

Best regards.
