Can you look at my translations to help Spanish callers?
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to read this and if possible giving me any corrections to my translations (which were all done with online tools). I want to use them at my new job when I get a Spanish speaking caller to make life a little easier for them as well as myself. Please take a look at the Spanish parts of the following and correct them if they don't relate to the English-Thanks!

Does anyone there speak English?
