&lt;p&gt;Her weekly/ monthly salary is __________________ .&amp;nbsp; (If there are bonus arrangements, or any additional income from the company, try to explain it and we can take a look.&amp;nbsp; If you work on an hourly basis, try to explain the rate and the number of hours, and any overtime arrangements, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It might be a good idea to have someone from the country where your bank is located take a look at this, in case there are some cultural differences.&amp;nbsp; - A.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Friends&amp;quot; is plural. Was she paired with one particular guy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whom is she talking to?&amp;nbsp; Her date??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Felt&amp;quot; is past tense, but &amp;quot;is&amp;quot; is present tense.&amp;nbsp; Is she still on the date with this guy (or guys) (or girls) when she makes this statement? (like maybe at the very end of it?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is Neil her main squeeze?&amp;nbsp; (Sorry, my eyes are getting bad.)&amp;nbsp; Is Nell her main squeeze?&amp;nbsp; Who the h--- is Nell?&amp;nbsp; (Is Lana a guy?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I&amp;#39;m assuming &amp;quot;tonight&amp;quot; is a noun rather than an adverb.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I had to explain &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;about&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; tonight.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Not, &amp;quot;Tonight, I felt like I had to explain to Nell.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s still &amp;quot;tonight&amp;quot; when she makes the&amp;nbsp;statement.&amp;nbsp; It sounds like Nell is not present.&amp;nbsp; If she has already explained to Nell, she must have covered a lot of ground.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But on the other hand, we don&amp;#39;t know what it is she wants to explain.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Did she feel she had to explain &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;what happened tonight&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, or did she&amp;nbsp;feel (in the past) that she had to explain that she was planning to go on a date without him/her??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If she&amp;#39;s talking to the guy and they&amp;#39;re still on the date, maybe it&amp;#39;s, &amp;quot;I felt like I had to explain to Nell, but, you know what?&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t feel that way any longer.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Maybe she&amp;#39;s just telling him that she feels wierd about having felt obligated to tell Nell all her private business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or maybe she&amp;#39;s warning &amp;quot;him&amp;quot; that this &amp;quot;date&amp;quot; is no secret from Nell, because she felt obligated to tell her/him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;re asking me, &amp;quot;Did Lana explain to Nell about tonight?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll tell you.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify;"&gt;This is to inform you that &lt;span&gt;&amp;lt;name removed by mod - but it appeared to be backard&amp;gt; &lt;/span&gt;was working with us as E-Com Consultant, E-Com Dept, Country Office, FedEx, KSA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN:center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify;"&gt;During his tenure he was responsible for monitoring day to day functions of the Dept, supervising and guiding the E-Com team. He was responsible for providing onsite support for FedExâs biggest clients who are equipped with FedEx E-Com Products. He was very successful in promoting FedEx E-Com products to clients who have high volume shipments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify;"&gt;He was also responsible for deputizing the E-Com Country Manager during his vacations/business tours/off-days. &lt;/p&gt;

If I speak to someone on the phone, they&amp;#39;ll tell me it expires at midnight, or one minute past midnight, or &amp;quot;twelve-oh-one-a-m,&amp;quot; depending on whom I&amp;#39;m speaking to.&amp;nbsp; They usually like to add the one minute to avoid confusion about the actual date.&amp;nbsp; If I say &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;midnight on June first&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, is it the beginning of June first or the end of June first??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For years I thought I&amp;nbsp;was covered for the full day on the date of expiration.&amp;nbsp; I was shocked!&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; shocked!&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; to find I was only&amp;nbsp;covered for one minute.&amp;nbsp; So I guess it takes a certain amount of intelligence to interpret these things.&amp;nbsp; (i.e. no matter what you do, it ain&amp;#39;t gonna be foolproof.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I must have been thinking in terms of the date on which a bill must be paid.&amp;nbsp; In some cases you have until the end of the last minute on the day it&amp;#39;s due.&amp;nbsp; I guess in the system you&amp;#39;re describing, 24:00 = 00:00.&amp;nbsp; So you would say 6-May, 24:00 = 7-May, 00:00.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;#39;s the convention among programmers??&amp;nbsp; Do computer clocks actually go to 24:00 ??&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>HELP!

&lt;p&gt;Well.. I know that most of the people who writes here asking for help says that it&amp;#39;s seuch an emergency... but in my case, I can assure you that I really need your help! I&amp;#39;m applying for a job in USA and I need to send a recommendation letter untill Wednesday (today is monday! I have only 2 days)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please, I BEG you guys, If anyone can correct the letter above, I&amp;#39;d be really greatfull!! (I don&amp;#39;t know if this is the correct word)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;For whom It may concern:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The student Iris (last name) , came to work with us first time in 2005, at the 6Âº Brazil Fest in Folk that took place on August, in (name of my city)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The festival is an event organized by Abrasoffa, supported by Unesco, where groups of dancing and folk music from many countries participate. The volunteers are housed with the participants in an accommodation during the whole festival, giving all the support, working full time from 6h00 to 24h00.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;She worked as a volunteer during the 2 weeks of event, supporting the organization and the nacional and internacional participants groups. &lt;strong&gt;She demonstrated extremely responsibility with every duty, sheâs really hard working and flexible, she had a great relationship with everybody, with respect and&amp;nbsp;profissionalism &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and she was always ready to help in whatever and whenever it was needed. (I don&amp;#39;t know how to write this in a better way... I think I&amp;#39;m saying too much &amp;quot;she&amp;quot;)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Due to her dedication and for showing good results at her job, we invited her to work again with us at the 7Âº edition of the Brazil Fest in Folk, and we had the same satisfaction in counting with her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Doubtless I recommend her to participate at the program Work Experience USA and I can assure you that she is a great candidate, as she showed us that she can deal very well with people from different cultures, speaking a foreign language, sheâs flexible because she could&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;fit (get used?? I don&amp;#39;t know ehich word use here)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;easiliy to de work time and the accommodation, always respecting every person and dealing everything with much professionalism and dedication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sincerely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Terezinha Pasqualini Miquelin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Abrasoffa&amp;#39;s President&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, I just &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; don&amp;#39;t want either of the other two candidates to become president.&amp;nbsp; I do admire John McCain a lot for being a maverick.&amp;nbsp; He too seems to be a man of principle, but he&amp;#39;s also a hot-head and many of his foreign policy positions scare me.&amp;nbsp; As for Hillary... well, I just don&amp;#39;t like her.&amp;nbsp; While her political positions are very similar to Obama&amp;#39;s, she represents almost the exact opposite of everything he does.&amp;nbsp; She&amp;#39;s deceitful, manipulative, hypocritical, and (at least in elections) rather machiavellian.&amp;nbsp; She&amp;#39;ll do anything to get elected, and has hurt the image of the Democratic Party with her tactics against Obama.&amp;nbsp; In end though, I&amp;nbsp;not only hope but expect&amp;nbsp;that Barack Obama will be the next president.&amp;nbsp; Despite&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;wrangling I expect to see from the Clinton camp every step of the way, Obama is almost surely going to be the Democratic nominee, and it would take a miracle for the Republicans to win the election this year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re:  Russian elections</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/RussianElections/znkrq/post.htm#484380</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:20:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:484380</guid><dc:creator>Ruslana</dc:creator><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/englishforums/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Lawyee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope I would never say these words, they seem to be a resignation of political engagement&lt;img title="Sad" alt="Sad" src="http://www.englishforums.com/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it good that Russians think this way?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good for whom? The good and the bad are relative conceptions. What is good for a lion is bad for an antelope. &lt;img src="http://www.englishforums.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Resignation of political engagement? I didn&amp;#39;t say I refuse to participate in political life of the country. If a strong competition of candidates had been&amp;nbsp;supposed to happen, surely I would have gone to give my vote to someone I prefer. But now I really think it&amp;nbsp;could be a waste of time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/englishforums/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Dew&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Though we were strongly requested to come and give out votes...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning I heard in the news that some foreign mass media&amp;nbsp;wrote&amp;nbsp;Russians had been forced to vote, as it was in the USSR. I don&amp;#39;t know whether people were forced to do something in the USSR (I was too little yet to remember anything like that), but what I know now - no one stood close to our doors with a rifle &amp;#39;forcing&amp;#39; us to vote. It was a choice of every citizen whether to go or not. (It&amp;#39;s quite amusing sometimes to know&amp;nbsp;how foreign mass media interpret information.)</description></item><item><title>Re: how to reply a call letter?
