I am trying to write to a couple of airlines from french-speaking african countries, asking for their timetables. Would someone be so kind as to translate the following:
Please could you send me two copies of the Air Mali timetable to the address above. I have enclosed some International Reply Coupons (Coupon-Réponse International) which can be exchanged at a post office to cover the cost of postage.
I can vaguely speak french, but I don't think I can translate this so it is gramatically correct.
Thanks!

You could also try:
Auriez-vous l'amabilité de m'envoyer deux exemplaires de l'horaire actuel d'Air Mali à l'adresse ci-inclus...
After that...I really think 707CMF covered it...well, he is a native French speaker. Hmmmm

RE: Language Help Needed - French This Time
I suggest this :
Envoyez moi les horaires d'Air Mali en double fissa.
Et vous payez le port avec ca.
J'attends mais ma patience a des limites.
You'll tell me if it works.

Well, even though I live in Elbonia, my native language is indeed French (I was borne in Paris)
Careful Qb001 (replay2) is joking it is not really french.
yes, it is French, just from another country.
Sebolino... careful with what you said, early 20th is no more valid in France nor in Mali.

I don't think they know what tabarnak means in Mali
I don't know either, please enlighten me.

It's Quebequese slang for "Tabernacle"
Quebequese tend to use religious words to swear, but the spelling is modified.
An example with a very lame quebequese joke (sorry, it will be in French, because it is not translatable)
Quelle est la difference entre un pneu canadien et un pneu francais ?
Le pneu canadien, quand on serre les freins, il crisse.
..............

Le pneu francais, quand on serre les freins, il bordel de merde

LOL. I didn't know that one...
To know more about the differences about Franch-french and French-Québecois, take a look at this.

RE: Language Help Needed - French This Time
I heard this one in a Francois Perusse joke (now, there's something shared between France and Québec!!!) - I'm currently listening to the original (i.e. quebequese) Albums of the people !

Qb001,
I tried your link. That's funny, but unfortunately I realized that I don't understand a Quebecquois speaking.
Except calice and tabernacle and a few words, I really didn't get it.
But the accent is nice: cooolice instead of calice.
