    Note in by mailbox

    Hi! I just returned home from the holidays and it seems a neighbour left a note inside my mailbox. Unfortunately, I’m not able to understand what it says. If somebody understands something and can share it, it would be great. Thank you 🙏

      I can decipher some parts:

      “Ich möchte mich gerne bedanken …. für die vielen Helfer(?) am …” and “schöne Grüße und Dankeschön”.

      “Ich möchte mich gern [B]edanken”, second half is indecipherable to me.

      90°:

      “Schöne Grüße und Dankeschön”

      Sorry I can only read half of the message. The beginning part and the last. The middle part is really unreadable. Maybe someone else can do it better.

      “Ich möchte mich gerne bedanken …(unreadable) … schöne Grüße und Dankeschön.”

      “I want to say thank you … (unreadable)… greetings and thank you”

      First is : 

      “ich möchte mich gern bedanken ” (I want to thank you)

      Maybe at the end ist says like 

      “Soll ich Ihren Kindern Hilfe anbieten” (should I offer help to your Children) .

      But not sure about that.

      Nah, last part is not that… but can’t find a better one atm. 
      Person who wrote is is likely not german . (I was wrong… person is german,  just having horrible handwriting) . Maybe the pharmacy can decipher that… well maybe.

      On the side, maybe  “Schöne Grüße ”  (greetings).

      Horizontal (first pic)

      i want to say thank you

      … i can’t decipher the next part…

      maybe the last word at the Center means Hilfe (Help)

      vertical
      best wishes and thank you

      sorry i can’t get more out of it 😅

      Parts of this note are unreadable. Do you have a very old person or a person suffering from dementia in your house? I could be mistaken but the writing style changes from trying to write very clearly to really weird. Also the Ms the g seem to be written in an old fashioned style and the CH in “möchte” is written in modern style but in the line below they switch to cursive. I wonder if the unreadable lines could even have elements of kurrent. I think the older generation still learned that at school and if is dementia this memory might be older and less corrupted than modern style handwriting. You could ask in r/Kurrent if it is more readable to them.

      This is quite hard to read because it’s not just very uneven handwriting, the writer also isn’t a native speaker (or has severe dyslexia). The sentence on the left for example reads “shone gruhe un Dankeshon” which should read “schöne Grüße und Dankeschön” (greetings and thanks). The rest I can’t completely decipher.

      What’s weird is that I think I can read most of the letters, but my German is so bad I don’t know what they mean.
