sent by Oskar, a friend in HeidelbergHi friends! This is a funny letter of a businessman complaining to an American firm. It's a mix of German and English, so read the text aloud to understand the words! =)
A firm in Germany ordered coffee from a firm in the United States. While enroute, a couple of bags of the coffee broke open and rats nested in it. The German firm sent the following letter concerning the coffee:
136 Wilhelmstrauss
Hamburg Germany
American Zone
Chentelmens,
