Este es un memorándum que pasó el departamento de recursos humanos de una
compañía en USA.
En el departamento hay 8 salvadoreños y en el costumer service 4 más, por
lo que entenderán que la forma de hablar dentro del departamento es muy popular
y a lo guanaco. Ya algunos de los norteamericanos que trabajan de supervisores,
han aprendido algo de nuestra lengüa y el Departamento de Recursos Humanos les
llamó la atención con este memorándum...... es real...
