You don´t know me, so I´ll introduce myself. My passion is history and ancient languages. I am the same age as you. My favourite quotation is: As long as there is a spark, there is hope.
My Latin vocabulary is quite restricted so I offer you a riddle:
Here is the riddle: When someone names me, I no longer exist. Who am I?
You probably won´t receive my letter. But I keep a ray of hope.
Non me cognoscis, ita inducam me ipsam. Cupidus historiae veterumque linguarum sum. Id aetatis ut tuae sum. Prelata mentio mea est: Donec erit scintilla, erit spes.
Vocabula mea in Latina Lingua non multa sunt atque tibi offero unum scirpum. Hic est scirpus: Cum quidam dicit nomen meum, ego diutius non sum. Quis sum?
Tu forsitan non accipias litteras meas. At teneo radium spei.

Ipsum –masculine, ipsam –feminine for “myself†I’ve preferred in translation to use “donec†for “as long as…†because it expresses more clearly the temporary connection You can use “ego diutius non sum†and also ‘ego diutius non esto/ exsisto’ with the same meaning.

in Latin the word littera,-ae means letter e.g. U, A, E, G, etc - singular. The plural form litterae,-arum mean letter, id est a written message addressed to a person.
Diutius is an adverb in the original, so I presumed you can't make a corelation between them. Plus I think the person who wrote it is a male, so "quis" is the proper pronoun, "quid" is for neutral. He said: "Who am I?" not "What am I?"
