It would be easy to write, and I would be willing to do so for a small 
fee, if the information is valuable to you.  

It would require going through something on the order of 10,000,000 
possible keys to determine the correct one.  It may take a month of 
computer time or more to find the right key.

Of course it could take much less.  Much of this depends on what you can 
tell me about the last 5 digits.  Are they all lower case?  Is it likely 
to end in a period?  From what alphabet does it come (lower case?, upper 
case?  punctuation?).  Can you order the various characters from least to 
most likely?

It would only take me a couple days to turn you out a program to find 
your key.  

Contact me if you are interested.

  Yep, because 1,000 is right before infinity!
