Madame, Monsieur,
Le 04.05.09 je vous ai envoyé un courrier (Copie jointe)pour demander votre assistance, et j'ai pas eu de réponse. Pourquoi ?
Recevez, Madame, Monsieur, mes salutations respectueuses.

20 Tháng 7 2009 11:57 | | | Hey Stane. Actually, I have noticed that all the others agree with my translation but I think you're right. Now it's up to Lilian to decide because she has taught me that we don't always use the same tense from one language to another.
Thanks for your input.   CC: Stane lilian canale | | |

20 Tháng 7 2009 12:24 | | | Hi guys,
@Stane,
About "I have sent", I'm sorry, but since a specific date was mentioned (04.05.09) the correct tense to be used is simple past "I sent" 
"a/any" is a matter of choice here, it doesn't make a difference in meaning 
@Francky,
How to write dates has become controvertial lately. Actually, today more than a way is acceptable. My favourite structure is:
"May 4th, 2009" (it leaves no doubt), but we can also see that written as:
The 4th of May, 2009. - 04-05-09 - 5/4/09, etc.
That's pretty confusing, isn't it? 
I think I'd better edit it "my" way. Do you all agree with: "May 4th, 2009"?
