(STD.8 is like today's Grade 10, only harder, and PT stood for Physical Training, as opposed to political Tension).

In it he used Afrikaans words like:-
Kraai, draai, naai,
Loer, koer, moer,
None of which really matter and are not worth translating, suffice to say that the essence of the letter was:-
Dear teacher,Words cannot convey how I feel about you. When I see you in your PT leotard, and you bend over to retrieve the pens and pencils I keep dropping, my nether parts tend to harden. In fact, I think in another life you might have been a mechanic the way you cause my nuts to tighten!
(Then there some crap about his own physique, her boobs, her camel toe)
I would like to say, teacher, that if I had one dying wish it would be that you would be my valentine!
PS. Any chance we can pomp! (Afrikaans slang for fuck)!
Salagatle!

Wreckless Just remember I was 22 when I was in Grade 10. Now that I think of it, it's wonder she made me think of a mechanic and drove me nuts!
I always had the saying:
"Ek laaik alles met 'n aai behalwe braai en slaai"
I'm so glad you translated it--I think--I'd never have been able to read it otherwise.
