Funny you should ask, but yes.....wait, Herr Dr. Doom can't speak German!?

Anyhow: "Mr. Doom, many thanks for your kind (? Don't recognize that word)
words! I have been in Germany for 2 years [alternatively she could mean "I
was in Germany up until 2 years ago"]; I lived there with my Daddy for 4
years, before I became a shadowrunner. I would like very much to speak
further with you; perhaps I will visit you someday. Ms. Jaez.

I translated this somewhat literally. I speak better than I read, but have
acted as a translator for my Corp. for some time. I believe my translation
to be 95% accurate. There is 1 typo, I am reasonably sure (shoe should be
schone) and 1 idiom I am not sure of (in [] above).

I am not entirely sure that this is a native German, because there are some
mistakes....salutation should have been "Mein Herr Doctor Doom", but my
German is rusty due to lack of uebung.

Bis wir uns treffen am Schatten!
