I need help translating this short letter...

Please excuse my Spanish.
No, I didn't receive anything.
Please tell Craig to come talk to me, if he has the time. If not, I'll see him anyway in less than a week, it's better for him to spend time with his family now.
I wanted to thank you very, very, very much for the cream (cosmetic cream, that is). I was very impressed with your gesture, it's very sweet and very nice of you. I'm very grateful and happy, I wanted this cream for a long time.
Give a kiss to Andrea and Nick for me, and keep a big, big, big kiss for you.
Thank you very much.

Hi! I am writing a mini-story and I need help translating it to Spanish.

Here is the English version:
"She lives in Russia, but she wants to live in Paris. She wants to buy a castle in Paris, so she sells the jewels her deceased husband gave her. When she moves to her castle in Paris, she marries a surgeon who fell in love with her. After a year, the surgeon dies, leaving the queen with 10 million dollars. But why did the surgeon die? The surgeon carried a suitcase that the queen gave to him. The suitcase contained a bomb... Why is Elizabeth famous? Elizabeth has lived in 7 cities and has had 7 husbands, each leaving her with something very valuable. Each died after 1 or 2 years..."

Some of it I have but some I was having trouble with, please help!

Hi. We just took two Hispanic kids into foster care (3 and 4) and I need to know some basic "comforting phrases" for when they're crying. The 3 year old doesn't know the differece between Spanish and English...he has a Spanglish thing going on. The four year old knows the difference and realizes that we don't speak Spanish, speaks to us in English and her brother in Spanish. I know a good native language literacy program to put them in should we keep them, so we are planning to nurture their culture. I just need a few comfort phrases and their meanings. Thanks!

(example: I was putting my shoes on this morning for work and the little boy wanted his zapatos and stated crying when I told him he wasn't coming with. I think Hasta Luego would've been better than Bye Bye.)

Wikipedia claims that is just an urban legend, but I heard it from a native-German German language teacher. She said it was an amusing error, but the German people understood & appreciated what JFK meant. I would especially appreciate answers from native Germans on this question.

Two plus one examples, and I hope one of those native speakers out there can clear it up (it's probably a matter of style?)
1. "Who's there?" "It is I/me."
2. "I'm not comfortable with you/your staying at home."

3. I explained the problem to her. /I explained her the problem.

Thank you a lot

Here is what I'm faced with:

g''', d''', h'', g'', d'', h', g', d', h, g, d, H, G

c''', a'', fis'', Es, es, B, b, F, f ... etc.

NOTE that the letters mean something different if they are capitolized or not.

What I'm looking for is how these relate to the U. S. scale.

Thanks very much to anyone who can help, John.

I'm having a difficult time trying to put a sentence together. How do you say, "Your picture made me laugh." Is fait the right verb? I'm very confused. It's been two years since I took French classes.

Thank you!

2. "Éste me gustaba más" OR "A mí me gusta éste más" = I like this one better
3. Gracias, es muy amable, pero no hay necesidad = Thank you, that's very kind, but it isn't necessary
4. ¿Me puede decir dónde está el café? = Can you tell ME (or US?) where the café is?
5. Al principio, ella me escribía a menudo = At the beginning, she wrote to me OFTEN (or A LOT?)
