I need some help translating this into English

I saw that you are a translator on the French Translation page... I need some help translating the following letter into English. It was written by General Pulaski, while traveling to find food for the starving soldiers at Valley Forge. I know it's an inconvenience to ask you to do this, but I would very much appreciate it. If you don't have time though, I understand. Thanks.

Translation no longer necessary... sorry for any inconvenience

I'm just writing to tell you that I no longer need the translation. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. As a precaution, I asked several people listed on the French translation page to help me with the letter. Today I checked, and several people have sent me the translations or are in the process of translating them. I've been trying for several weeks to find a translator (first on myspace, which was hardly any help at all, then on wikipedia, which I must say has been more helpful). I hope in the future you would still be willing to help with translations. There are several letters from Lafayette that I cannot understand. But it may be some time before I need them.

Thanks again.

ps I was watching C-SPAN today, and was quite surprised to learn that after all these years, Pulaski may be made an honorary citizen.

Speedy deletion declined: Zonda Telecom

Hello Cerealito, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Zonda Telecom - a page you tagged - because: a revenue of $1 billion per year is a very clear indication of significance. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. SoWhy 14:18, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
