You read it right: purposal.
I do not mean to make fun or mock anyone here. I just want to point out to our brothers, who write proposal emails, to please check and re-check the content of your mail. The way a person writes reflects on how he/she thinks.
Below is an unedited email (well, except for the name and phone number) that we have currently received from a guy who seems to be interested in my younger sister.
Subject: A PURPOSAL.
Hi, I am S.M.A. from Dubai. Can you like me tell about your family background. Can you speak URDU ? if yes, then what’t level of your urdu. I am very serious about searching a right girl. So, please cooprate with me. If if you want any Querries about me, please don’t hesitate to contact with me.

S.M.A.
Enginear, Computer Hard Where
The Purple Journal 
Well if his family is well educated why not him? J/K!
what the fish!?
hahaha. He wants to buy your father (“what is the cost of your father”)?!
This line made me LOL.
“Enginear, Computer Hard Where”
At least learn how to spell what you are! This reminds me of when one of my friend’s girlfriend asked us if graduating in chemistry would make us “chemiticians”.
this is hilarious! i had my fair share of bad english “purposal” messages back in the days of Friendster. they were always a good laugh 🙂
Oh my!
ha ha ha ha !! speechless…
Oh i have seen worse from networking sites like Tagged, etc.
If he hadn’t said that he was from an “Educated” family, it would have been perfectly fine by me (although I have a critical eye re English).
Him being government employee reminds me… my Dad’s also in the Government. One day, he tells me that he’s got a dinner with some State Department people and he has to deliver the welcome address. He has no time that day so his PS is writing the speech. He’s asked him to mail it to me(i.e Specs) so I can go over the English because it better be perfect.
I thought that a bit extreme because the man has a B.A but turns out my Dad knows him better than I do… well… see for yourself: that evening, I opened my in box to find an attachment titled ‘Speach’ so I knew I was in for a rough time.
*sigh*
Oh and hey, once you get to know the ‘cost’ of your father, let me know how one calculates it, LOL! (I’m assuming he meant ‘caste’?)
Just by the way, this dude is serious about his ‘purposal’ and doesn’t even bother to run a spell check?
Sorry, I mean Spael Chaik. 😀
LOL really funny but hey u gotta give the guy credit for his self confidence and guts. I mean i know some ppl who wud rather die single than make this kinda purposals.
whats funnier than PURPOSAL?
Hard Where.
your post did crack me up.
Lolls@’whats the cost of your father?’ .. 😆
Tell me the address of the folk. I’ll sure tell him to pursue writing comedy for he’s got an innate talent of it. 😉
LOL… I remember we laughed like anything while reading these Purposal emails. I feel pity on these guys who makes this silly mistakes in cost of their dignity. Ahh! the spelling mistakes remind me of a spelling mistake back in Hyderabad, it’s written “PROPERTI DILING”. I can’t imagine how are they going to deal with the critical documents:(

its not a personal blog and i am not writing these days 🙂
HAHAHAHAHA to start with purposal :p
and why does this guy want to know the pay of your father…no the cost of your dad? :s lol..double meaning eh :p
whats with knowing the urdu? better ask him his level of any language for that matter :p
kamal engineer :S :p
are you serious he wrote hard where? :S *almost fell off the chair* :p
Purple this really made me laugh so hard! Crazy stuff! Poor guy!
Hmm – Its quite funny 🙂
Of course this guy is not good in English – he could have also written in Roman Urdu and used better expression to impress the girl. 🙂
hehhe i really enjoyed reading this poor guy …. unaware that his purposal is being laughed upon ….
but yeah paki people certainly do exaturate when they try to be over efficient in English … though if he had written in urdu i think he could have written something better ….
and i just can’t stop laughing on the hard where thingy …. lolz that was the best part of the purposal 😀 …
anyhow i guess by cost he mean your fathers salary …. or it can be the caste thingy as well !! most probably the caste thingy …
hey do keep more of such letters coming they are pretty interesting ! lolz
Lol, that poor boy. Kids these days, sheesh.
well at least he doesn’t have the classic line “I wanna make friendship with you” lol
*chuckling*
I know – that is main problem with our men out there – they just have to be “cool dude angrezi speaking” to put up good impression. 😛
My hubby developed an american accent after my engagement to impress me 😉
the PURPOSED one did ask about her level of Urdu – bechaara – must be thinking that writing so much english would be too much in long run! 😉
oh great….lol…. 😆
Well…I think people have said a lot already…I can only feel sorry for the poor man..
Hey Cav – me too! 😛
Bechaaray ke armaanon ke tukdhe tukdhe ho gaey hain – “Dubai ke armaan aansoo-oun mein beh gaey – sniff, sniff, sniff…”
😛
LOOOOL!! The whole thing is hilarious. Your sister should send him back a copy of a sample Microsoft Office CD titled: The Key to Increasing the Positive Replies to Your Proposal 😉
But about the “and what is cost of your father ?” you think he actually meant caste, as suggested by Specs? I thought he was referring to income… =(
This was hilarious!! 😀
this is way funny – er than something i received from my long ago bf.
“Baby, I ‘v seen you yesterday while surfing on local train platform and realized that you are the only site I was browsing for. For long time, I have been lonely, trying to find a bug in my life and you can be a real debugger for me now.”
lol. great experience it shud ve been!
LOL! But one way or another his intentions are clearly understood despite the spelling errors…
I’m definitely becoming an avid reader of your blog now! 🙂
:O
Crazy people.
I got one on FACEBOOK [can you believe?!]
asking me to pursue a ‘friendship’ online so he could see if I was a prospective marriage partner.
I just ignored him and forwarded his ridiculous message to my friends.We had a right good laugh at his expense!
This is hilarious..
Tell me the cost of ur father babe
and “please cooprate with me”
Actually i wasn’t stopping by 😉 … i had added your blog to my roll 😀 !!
i found it interesting 🙂 !!!
Lolz… Its really funny.
Lolll
