Yup, I cheated - used Google translator. What it was supposed to say was this:
Dear Grendal,
What if he's not Turkish? What if he is an owl?
Regards,

Dear John,
Correct translation is;
Ya o T�rk değilse? Ya o bir baykuşsa?
and that's right  |

Dear Grendal,
I am going to dream you into another future where you are speaking Mongolian and the lingua franca of the business world is one of the 2000 dialects of Papau New Guenie.

Dear TurkOwl,
Yes I'm born in Istanbul but lived in Canada for 44 years. So I'm a Turkish-Canadian. Did BA in Eng. Lit. at York U and now I'm commencing my MA in TESOL at Trinity Western University. I, and a few other colleagues, will be going to Qassim. Well that's the plan anyways, anything can happen in Saudia at the last minute. We will be in the English Prep. Year Programme there. My wife is also Accompanying me and she will be teaching there too at the women's campus.
My Turkish is Upper Intermediate/Lower Advanced level. With the Turkish mandatory enlistment law I gained an incredible amount of vocabulary (Turkish) that is not fit for this forum. 
Please keepn touch: [email protected]
Regards.
Grendal
