Very nice reply

From the shoe shop:

---------------------------

dear azura,

your friend passing your message has been very nice and polite, and so has been your letter. thank you for that at first.

looking at the pictures it is obvious, that the shoes are ornamented with completely different fur, so I bet the both sides have been mixed in production – we have not found the matching other sides in our stock. They have ended up somewhere in the world….

Of course you can return the shoes by mail or the next time you are here.

It would be very nice of you to accept a credit note of the amount of 169 Euros –to be valid in all our five shops in Saarbruecken, three women shoe shop, one high fashion store and even the men’s shoe shop.

So finally we will be good for your Karma, at least we will try!!

all the best from Saarbruecken and have further on still a good walk

I know European English are often seen as sloppy. But what I love is the sheer nonchalance and also willingness to write/speak English the best they can. Unlike most native/fluent English speakers who not only pick on each other's grammar/spelling (snooty) but inability/unwillingness to learn/speak another language, simply because they are not confident enough to laugh at themselves :)

I think the email is very sweet! especially the "further on still a good walk" as if the fur has screwed up your walk :)

Haha. Buy a new pair of funkiness sweetie!
