Not sure how long you have been dealing with that type of email but the scary part you will understand every word with out an issue eventually it only took me 3 years to understand all type of broken english.

Dear Bob,

If have a little bit than please try to send for customer consider better.

We talked with the customer and they can't revise the MTR's specification. If you have time, they want you to submit additional MTR's for review.

Now piping are nearly complete they 're have begin complain the schedule probably delay from waiting equipment.

Their piping is nearly complete and they are bitching about your schedule delays.

Customer rush us if Nowata can't provide material why don't use vendor local to made. We 're advise for let permit you before send your dwg. For quote and made in local. How about you think. We're loss many time please decision to any proceed.

Customer is pushing for delivery and asked why we can't have it fabricated in Thailand. Before you send a drawing we will sign a contract. What do you think? We are losing valuable time, please expedite your decision.

We are already contact with 2 vendor ( Unimit and Slot nankai are sub-vendor list of ARC they 're can provide material match in MRT required.

We have contacted two vendors who can fabricate locally with approved MTR's.

Awaiting from your reply.

We wish you would hurry up and respond.

[PoPJaY]

[atomicbob]

Well, it helps to know what the hell they're talking about before trying to sort it out.....but you see my daily challenge anyway.

I was just bored and thought I share it. Gives me a chuckle when they email me.

On a side note, I don't think they Babelfish. I've talked to them on the phone.

This is how they talk.

I talk like that sometimes.
