This guy's script is something else. Have a peek at this:

Gabriel Marcel a renowned modern anthropologist said and I quote?the profundity of human being is inexhaustible, man is a question unto himself. サ I cannot even ascertain knowing myself. I believe we do not have enough knowledge of ourselves but with time we will take the necessary steps deemed possible to establish trust and confidence which is very vital in business of such magnitude. It is based on trust that big commercial and industrial or manufacturing companies in the first world do business with most little trading companies in the third world.

Trust is not built under a day. It takes a good number of days, weeks, months and years to be solidified. Finally, I admonish you to eschew all negative imposition and muster courage for yourself to participate and conclude the above business logically with me. I promise you, the above transaction is hundred percent risk free and legal if instructions are adhered to religiously. We shall all enjoy our proceeds in absolute tranquility.

Off-script, his English is TERRIBLE, which makes me wonder how he could possibly think anyone would read this and think he wrote it. Never mind that whoever DID write it seems to have a serious case of verbal diarrhoea. Wink

Just had to share this, it utterly bemused me when I received it...

Konstantina.

Slap him hard!

I beg to differ. It looks perfect to me, and he should be complimented on his command of Engrish. De-educate him hard!

Seriously, almost any English speaker who receives this won't believe it, so he should be encouraged to keep it just as it is. Carry on.

He has a very valid point there. It could take quite a while. Twisted Evil

Maybe he's not a native english speaker, and using an online translator. It looks kinda like one to me. But, yes, it is perfectly good english! Marvelously so!
Here's hoping the trust will truly take years to flourish for the good of all personages and entities involved despite all the scrutiny that the unbelievers shower upon your neighborly and profitable transaction for the betterment of the world and the personages involved in it's execution! Very Happy

Instead of fully quoting the post above yours, use "^^" to make reading easier -ghost

It's a gripe of mine as well.

Hahahaha. Nice. Slappy, I was just having fun with you. You were out-Englishing Rolling Eyes

the lad, and stepped on your foot. In your defense, at least you didn't say "your right". That one really gets me twisted up.

Hey, I just noticed that my initials are (sp). Shocked

Wow.. I'm utterly flumpted that a non-native speaker can produce such eloquent sentences. Yep, applaud him on his eloquence.

Yes, you must send him your "enthusiastic contrafibularities" (Blackadder)

That script is beautiful. I would definitely remind him of the "Trust is not built in a day" line everytime he gets impatient.

ETA; Thanks for making me feel at home here. I'm a bit of an a-hole when I want to be, and have been trying not to blow my cover. Seems I’m in good company. Love you guys, keep up the good work. I suppose I should get off my lazy @$$ and cause some lad pain of my own sooner or later.
