Thank you very much

You are correct, normally in English we would use ´Dear Friends´.

(Genellikle ´dear friends´ kullanıyoruz.)

But don´t you use ´sevgili arkadaşlar´ for ´dear friends´?

You can say worthy/valuable/esteemed friends as a literal translation for değerli arkadaşlar.

I thought I would post in the same thread - saves spamming the forum. 

Ordamisin - Can anyone tell me what this word means? I think it means "Are you there?" Am I correct?

Could someone also translate the following:

"How did you find me to request my friendship?"

Thanks in advance.

Following Faruk´s translation of your previous request I would say

Dün akşam misafirler geldi.

Please correct my attempt to translate this, as I try to learn. 

Değerli arkadaşlar; 

Worthy friends,

My attempt -

Sağlıkli olman için önce kilolardan kurtulman gerekiyor.

First you need to lose kilos to be healthy

Bu kilolardan kurtulmanın yollarindan biri de düzenli olarak spor yapmaktır.

One of the pathways to losing these kilos is by also doing regular exercise.

İnsan istedikten sonra spor yapacak yer bulur.

A person will exercise after wanting (to lose kilos) and he/she will find a place.

Wait for corrections. 

 I don´ t think he meant "body" but "buddy". Sounds the same but are different.
