Honey, it's me, how's your life there? I returned back home from Moscow today early morning but
tired very much and decided sleep few hours. Would be happy to say that it was a perfect trip to
Moscow but unfortunately it's not so... the main thing which I understood after this my job trip -
I'll never make a business with indian customers again!!! Still can't believe what a cheaters they
are! I arrived to Moscow with great mood and went to the meeting with customer being in positive
condition. In according to my job agreement, they pay me a first part of my salary (20 percentages)
after I done a half of translation, and the remaining amount - after I'll done a full volume of
translation. During my first job trip to Moscow I passed a half of my job to customer's
representative, results of my job were accepted and I got a first part of my wage, no problems with
it. But when I came to the customer's financial department yesterday with hopes to receive the
remaining big part of my salary - they said that I've already got all money in according to our job
agreement! Can you imagine that? First I thought that it's some mistake occurred and tried explain
it, but customer's financial manager forwarded me to the juridical department. Waited 3 hours till
their lawyer will find a time for me and was shocked by his explanation. He said that due to our job
agreement the second and biggest part of my salary should be sent by wire transfer to the bank
account. After a lot of standard banking information and rules within 20 pages, I didn't read it
with big attention unfortunately. And yesterday customer lawyer indicated a clause in the contract
where by a small font was written that wire transfer can't be done to a list of countries like
Nigeria, Ethiopia and... Russia! It's some kind of sanctions or something else, I really don't
know... It looks like a bad joke but unfortunately it's true and I just didn't noticed it when sign
a contract... Seems that they had a thoughts about cheating me beforehand, I've done a huge volume
of job for little money and everything made in law, nuts! Almost didn't sleep past night, a lot
of different thoughts in my head, really hoped on this money... Tomorrow I deal to meet a lawyer for
consultation concerning this situation, may be she will be able to find some solution for me. Sorry,
I'm feeling myself really bad, all what I want now is sleeping, still can't believe that it's
happened with me. Hope your life is better then mine, sorry for sad news again
your sad Natalya
