My bridge for this translation :
Dear Sir or Madam,
About six months ago, I made an application for a house. But I haven't received any answer. In spite of the doctor's report and of valid conditions I don't know why you don't follow up. If you could throw light on this subject, I would be pleased. My respects. CC: handyy kafetzou |

| | I think this one is completely wrong. Here's my bridge into English:
Dear Sir/Madame:
It has been been six years since I submitted a home application to you. I don't know why you haven't reached a decision in spite of the fact that a doctor's report and the required conditions were provided. I would appreciate it if you would shed some light on this matter for me. With respect,

| | Something else that I think needs correcting:
une demande pour une maison - I don't think it's a house

| | I'm not sure. That's why I translated it as "home" - I'm guessing that it has something to do with medical treatment, since the applicant mentioned a medical report. The Turkish word "ev" can mean any kind of place to live. |

| | Thanks, handyy. Botica, is there a parallel word in French - a word that can have several meanings? Maybe "domicile"? |

And the word "Maison" has also several meanings, so I think it's correct. |

| J4MESNumber of messages: 58 | How do you know if they are "handicapés" ? As I said, we need the advice of the person who has written the original text. |

| | If "maison" can have several meanings, then I think we should go with it. Or "logement". We really don't know what the situation is here, unless the writer clarifies it for us. |
