I recently ordered an item on ebay from a seller in China. I got an email from the seller with the tracking information and a word of thanks. It is obvious that English was not his first language. I got a few laughs out of it, especially when I read "your cognition is our power to make forward." So here it is, unedited except I removed the tracking number:
