Subject: Portera!

In addition, find attached to this correspondence my latest foray into the sphere of translating documents from the original language intended to communicate purpose and resolve despite the unfortunate existence of a language barrier between the ONG WDI and the host country, in which the personnel have made numerous and varied adjustments to the cultural, social, and political contexts, given the reality of a lack of funding for translators and other cultural emissaries and so forth and so on.

In fervent hope a percentage no greater than 25% of the sentences in my translation sound like this one.

Also, I used the word "foray" today. Twice.

Onward, upward, el Ecuador-ward...

From: Elizabeth
To: Rebecca

brilliant, have i told you lately that you are? in spite of that its lacking originality, something for which should strive the people, it is thought a good idea writing in this manner that could be considered difficult for understanding by the people. in this way it is suggested that tonight the undertaking of the activity of crapulating, be accompanied by perhaps a pizza that could derive from the place that is considered by the majority to be in general preferred for these pies of DOUGH covered by SAUCE of TOMATOE and CHEESE and slices of TOMATOE.

your esteemed co-founder of this company which ventures to place in bank accounts funds in the form of dollars is available to volunteer to pass said pizza establishment that is the source of aforementioned pizza. she plans that she will be returing to the headquarters around about 8:30pm.

one more point that is worth mentioning is that miray, known as the other half of the team known as FOR presently residing in bogota, has thought quite definitively of the idea of traveling, on a bus, to the city that tends to be referred to as medellin, on the same wednesday that the team of crapulations will be on a bus moving towards said city of medellin(1) and also staying the night, as will also be the team of crapulations. it is an idea that has been posed that these three team members of different teams board said bus as a team and spend one night in a hotel still to be determined.

if any of those people reading this document are not in compliance with its suggestions, they should direct their queries at the person across the table (if the same person is in fact across the table at the time of reading) or if is not(2) dial the number of the celular phone of said person. then talk.

much suggestions of happiness,
grace w schmidt lovejoy
