Hi. It looks like the first email is saying that they have a payment from May 18th for you, but need your address...and for you to email them.

The second seems to be saying they are happy with the info you sent..and they want to know when the "poket"? is being sent? Best wishes..

I could be wrong..only you know the details of the transaction.

poket might be packet or package.

Easier if they were writing German instead of what they think is best approximation of English.

Thanks annekila. She sent the payment already via Paypal on May 18th. I replied to her asking for information, and translated from Babelfish into German. This is her reply:
"thank you - I can not englisch!! Your deutsch is beautiful, thank you.


I have make = payment per Paypal to 18. Mai 2008 = 14,25 US $ . Also Post $ 7,75. Allright??"


Well, I guess I answered whatever she wanted to know. Now she thinks I speak beautiful German!
