I'd bet it starts with:
"I am lost... I"
But I haven't figured out the encryption type, yet.

Well it's not normal Vigenere if it is. The Encryption pass doesn't make any sense / doesn't translate any of the other parts; "anyudrwp"

Ummm You need to DEcrypt, not encrypt. But it's still garbage. "ancgxje" to get 'I am lost'

'I am lost... I need some help. I can't..." Pure spec, of course. And the bottom may give us a URL eventually... Or a name. Or something...

If it started out "I am lost ... I" Then it would have to be a matrix. How often do those pop up?

Well I'm pretty much flummoxed. Tried everything I could think of and a couple I couldn't... So I'm guessing it's a combination of steps. But I don't want to count the number of times I've been wrong...

On a side note, does anyone know of an ATBASH aplet anywhere?

i'm brute forcing with 'ancgxjeltjckshswsemda' as a vignere key so far, just assuming it does indeed say "I am lost... I need your help." -- but i'm not sensing any patterns yet. I was hoping for a self-replicating key...

I received the same email and was thinking too that the first phrase would translate in : I am Lost ... I need your help.
But I tried everything I could think of to try and decipher this with no luck at all. So I can't bring anything new. But hopefully we will receive another email soon guiding us or giving us a nodge in the right direction cause I,m at a lost here myself.

EDIT: i was looking again at this and it makes no sense at all. If you look to the word we think could be NEED = gngn. So even the 2 E in this word don't have the same letter. So we are either way wrong on what we think is the words or this is something I never came across before. This is very confusing. I also tried putting the words one by one in rot but not a single word comes up in there ... so confusing Confused

Well sent him an email telling him we wanted to help him out but we weren't able to read is message even after our many efforts. So if he could help us out understand it . We will see if I get an answer and what he answers.
