As a suggestion to the OP - - - the use of a more traditional orthography
will make it much easier for other to read your note.
Easier reading would make it more likely to you would get answers to your
questions - - - IMO.

I can usually read and follow something of this length in a very short
while. Here I had to read through it a number of time to puzzle out what
was being said and what was being asked.
Would bet I'm not the only one.
