HUMOUR: inentional humour by a translation agency

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

I love the following subject line : :-P

-------- Message original --------

Sujet : Project: a general pregnant application form translation and

many more

The rest of the message is less funny, particularly the " lowest rate per

word " part of it !

> Hello. Hope this email finds you well. We are needing a

>long term professional and experienced translator for these

following pairs in few hours. The translator must be fast,

efficient, countable, and loyal. If you are, please contact us as

soon as possible and you must give us the lowest rate per word so

I could forward this information to my supervisor.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

I look forward to your quick reply.

If so, please let me know.)

Yes, , you are right. I didn't notice it.

The most incredible is that this message had been sent by an US

long-established translation agency !

See you,
