The English translation would read something like this:
Dear Pippi,
My name is Ole Olay and I am writing you because I think we are related. I am
doing genealogical research and have found a link between us. My father was your
father's father. His name was Arne Lindstrom and was born in 1922 in Sandefjord.
He died in 1977. He was married to Lise Ingstrom in 1955 and they had three children: Bugge Lindstrom, Hugge Lindstrom and Mugge Lindstrom. Mugge Lindstrom was born in 1960 and was married to Beate Humperdink.
Can you write and clarify if Mugge Linsdtrom is your father? I am looking forward to hearing from this part of the family.
Sincerely,
Ole Olay
