It can be quite hard to render a message down to just fifteen letters. That is why this text is quite scrambled. Of course having sixteen available would be easier but then we would not have the space. A double space indicated a full stop to the message can be read straight from the text. In this case the message has been made longer than you might expect in order to allow frequency analysis to be useful. That is also why it has not been rewritten to avoid the missing letters. Otherwise it would be a case of putting in random letters and hoping something fitted. We do not want to do that. I hope you have all enjoyed trying to break this note. The best way to convey your accomplishment is to respond in kind. Have fun. Huinesoron. PS. We write like this if we with not to write the lost letters. It is rather a pain.

Thanks Huinesoron!
This was a lot of fun!
