Could some body please translate this sentence into Finnish:

"Contact me on my Penpal International account."

I'm trying to communicate with some friends, but everything seems to be getting lost over the ocean.

Thanx very much in advance!

Do you mean this? : "Send me a personal message via/through Penpal International" ? That would be "lähetä minulle henkilökohtainen viesti Penpal Internationalin kautta!"

I do not understand why you would have to write that in Finnish. If the people you are trying to contact do not understand any English you would not be able to communicate with them even if they received your message.

Thanks a lot for the translation. You are right, it doesn't seem logical, but I'm trying to comunicate with people on a pay-site (which I'm not paying for) by direction them to a free site. The censors only understand English.
Does that make sense?

For the same reason, how would I say:

"My MSN Messenger name is the same as my profile name"

or something similar to that.

Thanx a million in advance

I would say it like this : MSN Messengerillä käytän profiilinimeäni

That looks really cool!

I'm attempting to download it right now, but with 550+ mb, this could take awhile!

Ask them to download http://skype.com/
Then, if you have also done that, you can speak to any country in the world free.

Skype is an OK-site and there is the completely free option between computers.
You need naturally to have a sound-card in your computer and a microphone.
