Lost in Translation

Our primary client contact is a 50+ year old Emirate man. He's traditional, very religious. Dresses in the dishdash (white Arab "dress"), head scarf and black head circlet, http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2262855-Founding_Sheiks-United_Arab_Emirates.jpg. Yesterday our meeting with with him was interrupted by a phone call. It ended with this, "may Allah give you a wife, or 4 wives, or all 4 wives in one night, if you can help me."

I don't believe he intended for that to be translated...
