Messrs.

Could be a short form of Messrs. (abbreviation of Messieurs), which is sometimes used in English before the company name. In Spanish it should be removed.

Sra (typo for Miss + explanation)

Hi Laura,

I believe it is simply a typo for Ms, what was commonly the abbreviation of Miss, as in the following explanation, taken from the web:


... Many women thought that it is not fair to use Mrs (abbreviation of Mistress) to address
married women and Ms (abbreviation of Miss) to indicate unmarried women ...

I cannot say in English, but in modern day Spanish, the use of Srta or Señorita is considered politically incorrect since it is sexist ("señorito" or "srto." are not used as a manner of addressing a man if he is single). Instead, we use Sra as an indiscriminate way of addressing a woman, regardless of marital status.

Hope to help,

Suerte y sonrisas,

Álvaro :O)
Peer comment(s):

neutral dawn39 (X) : muy buena idea, Álvaro,porque efectivamente Ms es el equivalente femenino a Mr. La pega es que no es lógico "Señora Compañía Chomki". Si no estuviera "Company", entonces sí: Sr. Lou, Sra. Lee y Sra. Chomki. Más que traducir, esto es arte de adivinar :O)

gracias dawn. la idea era precisamente la que agregaste en tu comentario a laura: que chomki era otro nombre de persona y que el nombre de la empresa iba donde laura había escrito "company". aún habría faltado un "from" o algo por el estilo en medio :O)
