Alan perhaps just post the whole thing so you don't send in line by line requests for this one letter. It is also entirely possible that you are not getting the right context by using a book or online tool to translate the parts you are not asking about, since the two you've asked about are grade 2 Spanish.

Interestingly on 2/6/06 "ladygx" posted a request to translate "yo la conosco" (e.g. identically misspelled) as well. Make sure you are not getting some scam here. especially since all your posts are about moving to the DR, and female sankies, etc.

I am not so sure..........anyway do not use Altavista or Google as your sole means of UNDERSTANDING (not just translating) Spanish which I suspect I am right is from a lady friend. You may not get the context and since she cannot spell at least in part you won't even get a proper translation. Other than good jesting that abounds here you could get a meaningful and more to the point, understandably useful idea of the message.
