translation follows:

hi, lojbanic readers.
i am brett.
i am studying Lojban, and i am about to try to write in it.

it is now possible that you remember me, because a long time ago i was
the author of a letter intended for all of you.
i am just now finishing not understanding lojban well, and it is
probable that i am trying to use excessively complex grammar.  i
anticipate i am making many errors.  please, help me to speak correctly.

one of my problems is using lujvo.
i know the gismu well, but i do not know many of the rafsi and thus i
know the lujvo badly.  a dictionary might help.

i am writer of poems, and Lojban seems to have the qualities of a poetic
language.  it is beautiful and interesting.  i have not demonstrated the
potential for poetry writing in languages other than english, but that i
will write poetry in Lojban is possible.

i want to speak to some of the readers of this about something in
Lojban.
please! let us talk, and please! support Lojban.

Brett
