Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the envelope seems to be entirely French, but the letter seems to be entirely English?
But yeah, politicians do keep profiles on you, and it's really disturbing. Here in Australia at least, they're exempt from most privacy laws, making it completely legal. When some Jewish people started getting "happy Hanukkah" letters…well, they were not happy.
That's Spanish, not French.
If this is French, I must be illiterate!
Oh merde. That's embarrasing. I can only blame it on the fact that I was on my phone and never bothered looking that closely at it.
C'est plus pire parce que je parle plus qu'un peu francais, et j'ai appris l'espagnol pendant trois ans. (Mais j'etais nul en espagnol...)
Hahah c'est correct, tu es pardonné x)
OP said in another comment the letter repeats in spanish on the other side.
Upvote for your second paragraph though since you are getting downvotes for an error you have already acknowledged
It's Spanish, not French, and OP states in another comment that the other side of the letter is Spanish as well. The mail is targeting OP's wife using demographic info, probably purchased from a data broker, because she has a Venezuelan background.
