Can you help me decipher this riddle?

A bit of #FridayFun for you, taking a break from the seriousness of life.

My friend Nathanial sent me this today and challenged me to translate this text into comprehensible English.

Would you give me a hand?

Truthfully, I don’t know the answer, but he promised it wasn’t objectionable.

You might send it to your team and see if they enjoy these kinds of things.

In fact, maybe you could make it a “problem solving exercise” for your team to practice.

Let me know if you crack it. He’s laughing at me as we speak. 🙂

Best,

Marcus

Well - my English is not good enough at these late hours, but you just have to read it out loud a bit "loosy".

It starts a bit like this "To the person responds, I will for sending them money"
