I was just working on a translation when an email from Friends Reunited popped into my inbox announcing new "games" available on the site. Feeling slightly bored with the translation I was working on, I was about to click on one that caught my eye.
"Word Search" it proclaimed: "Find all the hidden words before the time runs out!"
Then I realised that was exactly what I was SUPPOSED to be doing in the first place, so I went back to finishing my translation before the deadline!

a)if you can solve the former you get paid and if you can solve the latter nothing happens.
b)if you cannot solve the former you are fired and if you cannot solve the latter nothing happens.
Best wishes from Turkiye,

Actually that was the slogan of UK-based bank named "Abbey National".*

*I hope they do not mind. Queen made a song named "Mustapha Ibrahim" by using my and my father's name and I do not mind.

** I see that you make translations in many languages. I have also made document translations in 26 languages including Russian&Arabic, etc. until now ( I have worked as a tourist guide almost 30 years)

Well, they're "Santander" now (taken over due to the daft trading nonsense), and the way you've written it is more interesting than their patronising advertisements
