Below I have pasted an actual email I received from my buddies who are always watching out for me. Please note I deleted the name of the company so as not bring any unsolicited laughter their way.... nothing else was changed.

Being a highly educated, professional woman I had no idea that one month from The Talk I would be so incapacitated that I would be completely incapable of comprehending my native language or emails, and forget about actually being able to see it. Whew! I am glad they are covering all of the angles. Thanks to their expertise in communication with the unemployed I was able to figure out how to start the internet, type in the address, and successfully sign up for their ground breaking, concierge service. I have no doubt that their superior service will quickly bring comic relief for us all.
I am guessing that when I replied in 24 point, bolded type that the message was lost in translation.
