I saw the word "mai" on a letter. I know it translates to a certain month of the year, because it was written as the date: "Berne, 19 mai 2001". I think it may be whatever language it spoken in Switzerland because the letter is from a Swiss gentleman with a Switzerland address.

It's French for "May". Berne is a city in Switzerland, so it's the letter heading "From Berne, Switzerland, on May 19, 2001." Switzerland has four official languages: French, German, Italian, and a dialect called Romansh.

Look at it reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaal close. Could it possibly mean it came from Berne, Switzerland, on the nineteenth of May, two thousand one, spelled differently because they don't speak english over there? Or think like southerne California?
