Pidgin English

Some years back, I received an email that made me cracked up so much. It was in Pidgin English you see and this style of writing can really cause a riot. That email was voted "Best Email of the Year", mind you, and was even featured in a magazine! I remember reading it again in the magazine.

Today, I received another such email. It has the same effect. A little silly perhaps but really good for a laugh. Who says grammar has to be correct. What matters is that the message is understood by the receiver, right? Here goes...See if you are able to understand it.
