A lovely email yet again from a man informing me of the death of a possible relative (I think, it mentions using me as the “nest of kin”).
It is an email with some fantastic Engrish moments in it, something I’ve always had a soft spot for. “Sizzing the funds” is my favourite of the selection (sizzing means hissing in disapproval, which obviously makes no sense).
(Note: The link provided is a real BBC article but never let that sway you, it’s not hard to search for things like plane crash articles on respected websites.)
