"Totsiens = Till we meet again"
"Mooi bly = Stay well or good"
So iets, hoop dit help.

Ben, the word should be "totsiens" which you can translate with
"goodbye." Totsiens actually says "until I see you again" and is
therefore more like the French "au revoir."
"Mooi bly" is more or less "stay well." ( "Mooi" is beautiful
or nice or good, and "bly" means "stay".)
I notice the Nortel Networks in your address. Are you in
Ottawa? That is where I am.

Thanks for the translation - the tootsiens was a typo on my part :)
I (still) work for Nortel in the UK as it happens. Do you work for Nortel
too, or are you just based in Ottowa?
Cheers,
Ben

I just live in Ottawa ( for the last seven years, that is.)
I can appreciate the import of the little word "still" in
your answer above, though. You must be one of the
lucky few!
