Hi! New on the forum--have a question.

Hello!

My name is Harley and I'm new on the forum. I have found an abandoned letter in my house written in Tagalog (I believe) and, since I am not Filipino, I can't read it. I believe it might have been left by one of our previous housekeepers. I have tried to translate it online but it's not working out too well. I don't know if I'm posting on the right board or even the right section of the forum, but I was wondering if anyone will do me a favor and translate it for me? I'm quite curious to know what it says.

I'll post the letter on here, but first I'd like to know if this is okay with you all.

Thanks!!

Harley.

she's just saying to someone how difficult/hard work are, yet her employer is kind enough to understand. all positiveness in the letter for short hehehe. by the way the letter is not in tagalog. its in bisaya, peace!

[Square_Tile]

Thanks Backbeat! I read it, thank you very much. Good translation I'm glad to know she was doing well. She had left to go back to her home country and I found the letter and just wanted to know how she was doing while she was here.
