¿Usted jura y afirma decir la verdad?

Yes, we're looking for a document, am I correct?
We're looking for a document, am I correct?
Permite un momentito, estamos buscando un documento.
It's a moment.
We're looking.
Yes, proof of posting.
We, we, we, excuse me, proof of mailing.
Could you tell him we need proof of mailing?
Did he mail out?
Muy bien, necesitamos, caballero, necesitamos evidencia de que, de envío.
¿Usted mandó por correo los documentos?
Sí, nosotros mandamos todos los documentos, mi esposa y yo.
yes we my wife and myself sent all the documents okay do we have a copy of that
in your package were you the mailing okay tenemos una copia de eso en su paquete de
de que la evidencia que lo mandaron yes i gave you a copy
all right does he have a computer does he does he have you have the computer
use the computer force and maybe I should explain what proof of mailing is if the interpreter could
say that it has to be mailing that you actually had documented proof that you mailed notice to all of
the neighbors usually it's you have something from the post office you have the letter that was sent
there's official documentation with regard to that and that was not submitted muy bien entonces sí creo
que tengo que explicarle qué significa eso que es evidencia de envío entonces eso es evidencia de
envío es de que usted tenía los documentos en la evidencia de que usted envió por correo los
documentos la notificación a los vecinos y cosas así usualmente es algo que le dan un certificado
o una evidencia que le dan un recibo que le dan en la oficina de correo de que se envió la carta
la carta si no fue ingresado este documento creo el problema de esto fue que robert nosotros le
dijimos para enviar los documentos a la comunidad pero robert me dijo que no que no era necesario
no era necesario porque como nosotros ya no he hecho para sacar el sony de la propiedad
el dijo que no era necesario y no se hizo eso fue la única parte que no se hizo
okay yeah the problem with that is that robert told us that um we told robert um that we should
send that to the community uh but he told me that it was not necessary because we were gonna get
the sunny out and uh from the property but that is the only thing that was not done okay so we're
Okay, so we're not going to be able to go on today, could you please tell them that?
Okay, so we're not going to be able to go on today, could you please tell them that?
But my wife can explain more clearly what Robert said.
Yeah, but I understand what he said, but the point I'm saying is, the mailing wasn't done, the mailing has to be done, so we can't have the case today.
ok sino y entiendo lo que es lo que se dijo pero el punto es de que en los envíos por correo no
fueron hechos y se tienen que haber hechos para que nosotros podamos continuar el día de hoy
entonces por eso es que el caso no se puede llevar a cabo el día de hoy siempre yo entiendo puede
entender eso pero como digo si el que hace eso no dice que no se necesita porque nosotros no
lo enviamos porque él no dijo, porque nosotros estábamos dispuestos a hacerlo, porque nosotros
cuando aplicamos para el Sony, nosotros aplicamos para el Sony y lo hicimos, enviamos todas las
cosas a la comunidad y nosotros lo explicamos, pero él no dijo que no era necesario, que
él no iba a hacer, que él no le iba a hacer porque ya no era necesario. Entonces ya no
es culpa de nosotros.
Ok, permítame.
Ok, so, no, I understand that. The thing is that if the person that's supposed to do
this uh he told us that that it wasn't necessary and the thing is that we made um we made the
applications for the sunny we we sent it and everything and um and we did everything but
they he told us that it wasn't necessary so in the end it's not our fault so here so here's where
we are i understand his situation but we're going to move on and we're going to continue the case
because if the mailing wasn't done if the next time he has any questions all the office will try to help
them the best we can but so this case is going to be continued until January 27th
19 20 27 okay muy bien es perfecto está bien pero esta es la situación aquí donde estamos
entonces entiendo su situación pero vamos a continuar y lo que vamos a hacer es que
Entonces, entiendo su situación, pero vamos a continuar. Y lo que vamos a hacer es que vamos a dar continuidad a este caso porque los envíos por correo no se hicieron. Entonces, la próxima vez, si tiene alguna pregunta, nuestra oficina va a tratar de ayudarlo de la mejor manera que nosotros podamos. Entonces, este caso se le va a dar continuidad para enero 27 de 2027.
Okay, so how are we going to obtain the document?
What I would suggest is for you to contact the office and to discuss this matter with them,
and they will explain what you're supposed to do. You actually can't testify. I don't mean to,
I don't mean to be, I'm not being rude.
I understand someone didn't give you the proper information to whoever you.
No, no, no.
You still have to do a mailing, okay?
So it's continued till 1.27.27, okay?
At 9.30 a.m.
Okay, lo que yo sugeriría es que contacte a la oficina y discute este asunto
y alguien va a tratar de explicarle exactamente qué es lo que se tiene que tratar de hacer.
ok, mire
ok, yo entiendo
de que no le dieron la información correcta
con quien sea que haya hablado
pero de igual forma siempre se necesitan
enviar los correos, entonces
este caso se debe dar continuidad hasta
enero 27 a las 9 y 30
de la mañana
entonces, ok, en ese caso yo entiendo
pero el señor Robert
el encargado
del bloque, de nosotros
y si él no lo quiere hacer
okay i understand but uh mr robert is the one in charge of her blog if he doesn't want to do it
then what do i do again i will do all the office llame al oficina thank you very much sir

floor or a separate laundry entrance there's also a garage in the back first floor um there's entry
from chippendale the front of the property uh the first floor is laid out exactly the same
the front of the property uh the first floor is laid out exactly the same as the second floor
