    do you think that you can translate it word for word becasue it sounds like the person is asking for money.

    I corrected the mistakes in Spanish so you can run it through a machine translator and get the gist of it.

    Please remember that translation is not a free service. Someone might translate one e-mail from your lover to help you out, but you cannot consistently keep requesting this. Consider taking a Spanish course or hiring a translator.

    Good luck with it!

    Yes, that's true, Sheldon. The main ideas of this e-mail are:

    1. The person thinks she's gonna move with her aunt.
    2. She's asking for money from you to make a party for her birthday, and then she will send you photos.
    3. Finally, she asks what you are doing now and if you are thinking about her. She's expecting for an answer by tomorrow morning.

    I dont' want to intefere with your personal thoughts (and I really don't know the relationship you have with this girl), but please be careful. As Saidz and Vicente have pointed out, it would be a good idea for you to take Spanish lessons, if you are planning to continue this relationship seriously.

    Good luck!
    Guadalupe

    Hi Sheldon,
    I was a bit reluctant to interfere, after all it's none of my business.
    BUT
    she does give me a very, very bad impression.
    And then, asking for $220 just like that...
    Are you a millionaire ?

    Think twice mate !

    Frank.

    Hi sheldon, here an advice of a woman: do NOT send this woman any more money!
    She is asking you for money all the time. And ONLY for money. Please don't be so naive as to think she is really interested. I am sorry if you like her, but this is just too silly.

    Give it a try, tell her you can't spare the money, let's see what she says.
    I can tell you already: she will try to convince you and will talk about some fancy **** photos she is going to take. Let us know.
