are the XEs kisses perhaps...not sure if Батя! is a name...it might be slang for something

are you worried? Normally when you suspect something...it's usually true...but don't over react and keep your cool...it is just a face board

It means "Father, ha, ha, ha."

The word for Father in this case is a slang word.

From our grade (class) everybody sits at home here, only Mamonova is in Toronto. The rest has not gathered (come) yet.

I have a cheeky request, I hope somebody might be able to help out I need the following text translated just in case customs are funny about my anti-epilepsy medications.

I tried an online translator but i need to make sure it is accurate and understandable, my Russian is not yet good enough to do this, I don't expect any problems but since my health could depend on it i'd rather be safe than sorry.

"I am writing to confirm that Mr Fred takes 'Tegretol Retard' moderate release tablets 400mg, one twice a day, for control of his epilepsy".

Thanks

Fred

My Russian is a bit rusty for stuff like this. Perhaps one of the more fluent speakers can improve, if not this will do the job for you.

Цель этого письма, подтвердить что господин Фред, принимает таблетки 'Tegretol Retard' 400 миллиграммов ежедневно. Эти таблетки создают помощь против эпилепсии.

If moderate release is part of drug label/name, it worth leave it unchanged and write as 'Tegretol Retard moderate release' 400 мг to simplify custom officer's task.

or translate it and write as
... 'Tegretol Retard 400 мг с замедленным типом высвобождения действующего вещества дважды в день...

Настоящим подтверждаю, что mr fred принимает 'Tegretol Retard' 400 мг дважды в день для предотвращения приступов эпилепсии.
