Keigo-chan you are so silly

I am translating a letter for the Mayor of Tea Tree Gully at the moment and it's heaps funny how much of what is written in Japanese just does not translate. It is the really polite Japanese where 2 whole lines can just mean "thank you" in English. If you put polite Japanese into the online translator it comes back with the most nonsensical rubbish, it's quite funny! See if I can get an example up here later on...
