 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
My French is OK(ish), and I have booked a restuarant table via fax in French (I hope I have anyway  ), but this sentence has me confused. Can anyone translate?
"...nous vous prions d'agéer, Monsieur, l'expression de nos salutations empressées"
I can translate the rest of the fax, just interested as I am trying to sharpen up my French. I thinks it means we hope to meet your expectations or something like that??? I thought prions meant prayers?
Thanks!

It means "big up, Sir"

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

it's just a sign off, like 'yours sincerely' - only - more sincere! (we pray that you will accept the expression of our sincere greetings ...)

Yep - as per Poma. It;s just one of the standard formulae for signing off letters in french

It says a convoluted way of saying "we surrender"
