A:
Dear *NAME-DELETED*,

The program you wrote works fine. There are some minor syntax errors that
you have to correct. Other than that there is no problem with the program,
and in case the program was written you I congratulate, because you wrote
functionally perfect code without debugging. To fix the syntax errors on
the other hand should not be an issue for you.

Please respect others to write English and not slang. Especially when you
talk to someone that is not native English as I am. It really caused me a
small hedeache to understand your sentences. I made me actually learn some
american slang, but that is not the purpose.

regards,
Peter
