a real CAF letter, both ways
« Veuillez nous faire parvenir, sous quinzaine, vos trois derniers bulletins de salaire… À défaut, le versement de vos prestations sera suspendu. »
Google Translate
Words only"Please send us, within a fortnight, your last three pay slips… Otherwise, the payment of your benefits will be suspended."
You understand the words. You still don't know which payslips, when exactly, or what to send first.

Why not just use ChatGPT or Google Translate?
Both are excellent tools. But neither remembers your situation, calculates deadlines from the letter date, drafts proper administrative French replies, or warns you when something doesn't add up across your letters.
France Friend is built for one thing — the slightly anxious moment of opening a French admin letter — and gets you to peace of mind in 30 seconds, every time.
