Dear All,
I just realised after receiving a response from Aboubacar Keita from Guinea that we need to think about translating our communications in future.
I don't trust Google Translate 100%. Can our French Speaking Colleagues kindly Translate for me the below:
Bonjour Bobby
Merci de nous avoir contacté en tant qu'affilié africain, nous nous réservons de poser comme candidats pour l'instant en attendant de participer à une rencontre avant d'être hôte.
Je souhaite une meilleure santé à la communauté
