Default Re: Can anyone send emails in French? - Trying to buy from a French company

Bonjour,
J'habite au Royaume Uni et j'aimerais acheter un Passage de roue + clignotants LED pour une SV650S modele 2003.
Pouvez vous confirmer les frais de port pour envoi sur le Royaume Uni?
Est-ce que cette piece vient avec le systeme de fixation de la plaque d'immatriculation et les lumieres donnant sur la plaque d'immatriculation?
Merci par avance. Slts


Slts is short for salutations (a thank you way of saying goodbye).

These free translations from the likes of babelfish are usually either laughable (in both a mocking way and an amusing way, Sandrine LOL at the one above), or just plain nonsense, so even if hotmail had not changed your font you'd probably not have got far.

Good Luck

It says "Respond within 5 minutes or we'll know you're only pretending to speak french, and add 50% onto the price as Foreigner Tax"

Looks like this thing includes the undertray, tail tidy and flush mini indicators, they are referring to the whole thing simply as "our undertray"

Dear Sir

Thank you for your enquiry.

Our undertray comprises the number plate bracket and lights.

The price for our undertray, painted and delivered is 487.50 EUR.

Best Regards
