Sparrowheart, thanks for your words on my text. But I have to admit one thing: Writing such letters is a big part of my job. And to "friendly greetings": You have to be carefull that such a letter doesn't sound as a threat, wich you can achieve partly by an ending formula. At my job, we can choose between "friendly greetings" and (german) "Hochachtungsvoll) (translated = "with highest regard"), which didn't seem appropiate in this case. Schlabber: Platt? De schall plattdsch schnacken in Kn? Do hepp we ower annere Utdrke vor, her an de Waterkant! (Sorry, hat aber wahrscheinlich ohnehin keiner verstanden - ich kann "Hamborger Platt" zwar sprechen, aber nicht schreiben...) (The paragraph above this was mostly written in a regional german langauge - don't worry if couldn't understand it - most people where I live can't either!Sorry!)
