I always wonder about posting decryptions of stuff I can't read, but here it
is anyway.  Sorry, my Italian's not good enough to tune the rest of the
punctuation...

  |Scusal deve richiedere il certificato inscrizione alguniverita|
  |Perche  cose le serve il certificato|
  |Per rinviare di un annol il servizio militare|
  |Deve presentare il domano scritta su un foglio di carta bollata|
  |He askes "When can I pick it up."|
  |Alla fine del mese||Ma scusal perche  cose tardi. Non capisco proprion|
  |In questo periodol abbiamo molto lavoro da svolgere e  molte pratiche di
  |finire|
  |Capiscon Non c e niente da faren E  la solita burocraziaa Arrivedercin |
  |||

I arbitrarily assigned the | to some kind of separator... seems to set off
separate utterances in a conversation.

Hope this answers your question about the security of that particular
component. :)
