Later on, I believe she says, "Hi, God bless you (plural), I sent you the Avon money." Or, "avon" could be a typo of "avion" -- airplane, although if she meant money for a plane ticket, I'd think that would be something like "dinero para el avion."

Which makes me think that this Leila is an Avon lady and recently made a big sale...or something like that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and enbie is supposed to be "envie," as in "enviar - to send.
