Dear Lowlanders,

It looks like I've at long last made the Latin American connection I had
long hoped for.  Please see a copy of my correspondence below, with an added
English translation.

Best regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Caro amigo Lucildo,
     Sou muito agradado que você encontrou minha página e que você me
escreveu ... e num dialeto "platt" westfaliano!  Muito obrigado!
     Tenho esperado por muito tempo ter contatos com pessoas
latino-americanas que sabem ainda nossa idioma.  Quero emviar-lhe uma
resposta antes de sua reunião.  Seria agradecido a você se anunciasse entre
seus amigos que eu, ou nós, desejo ter contatos mundiais com as pessoas que
sabem nossa idoma, amam-na e/ou querem aprendê-la.  Se nós quisermos manter
nossa idioma viva, Se nós quisermos manter nossa idioma viva, devemos nos
unir em todo o mundo para sustenar-la e promover-la.
     Visite por favor outra de minhas páginas: "Nu is de Welt platt!"
(http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/low-saxon/plattewelt.htm).  Seria agradado se
você e seus amigos emviassem-me os nomes e os endereços das suas
associações, talvez também os nomes e os endereços de outras associações
latino-americanas.  Eu então os alistarei sob "América latina".  Podem
escrever-me em portuguese ou em espanhol.  Posso compreender aquelas
idiomas.  Incluo um versão portuguesa (algo deficiente) desta mensagem;
então podem dá-la a seus amigos na sua reunião.
     Este é um outro endereço importante: http://www.lowlands-l.net/
     Consideração amável e os mais melhores desejos para sua reunião a Ano
Bom!

Dear Reinhard,
I was very pleased to find Platt Online.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you that in Brazil, in the state of
Rio Grande do Sul, there are more than two thousand people that speak
"Platt," and that on September 13 the fourth Low German meeting will be held
in the town Ano Bom, municipality of Colinas.
After the meeting I will let you know about the various things that happened
there.
Take care!
Lucildo Ahlert

Dear friend Lucildo,
     I am very pleased that you found my web page "Platt Online"
(http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/low-saxon/po.htm) and that you wrote to me
... and in Westfalian "Platt"!  Thank you very much!
     I have long hoped to get in touch with Latin Americans that still know
our language.  I want to send you a reply before your meeting.  I would be
grateful to you if you announced among your friends that I, or we, wish to
have worldwide contacts with people that know our language, love it and/or
want to learn it.  If we want to keep our language alive, we must strive for
it together, all over the world.
     Please be so kind as to visit another one of my web pages: "Nu is de
Welt platt!" (http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/low-saxon/plattewelt.htm).  I
would be pleased if you and your friends send me the names and addresses of
your associations, perhaps also those of other Latin American associations.
I will then list them under "Latin America."  They may write to me in
Portuguese or Spanish.  I can understand those languages.  I am enclosing a
(somewhat deficient) Portuguese version of this message so you can pass it
on at your meeting.
     This is another important address: http://www.lowlands-l.net/
     Kind regards and best wishes for your meeting in Ano Bom!
