Hi there.. OK I feel a little cheap leaving a comment on your very interesting blog asking you for a favour! Feel free to dust it off as spam :-) Basically I have been receiving phone calls and text messages from a phone number in Burundi almost non stop, all day every day for the last 3 weeks. The guy doesn't speak english, though I had the text messages translated by a friend of a friend and it seems he innocently has the wrong number. I'd like to kindly let him know in Kirundi that he has the wrong number, as my attempts in English and French seem not to have been understood. Much appreciated if you could lend a hand with a Kirundi translation of "sorry, wrong numer!" Please drop me a line at be ef sh ak e AT g mail dawt cawm. Thanks again.. and sorry for the spam! Peace.
