Translation still wanted

[Ingemar Johansson <hebanon...>]

Dear list members,

Although I've got some very interesting private replies to my posting last
week about "Monika, Oy, Monika", I'm still waiting for the complete English
version. It should be said that I have tried to get this task accomplished
by my original source from Great Britain, but he's just silent these days.
So, once more, could someone please translate the following into English.

All yours,
Ingemar J.
