No cryptographer would include a key as part of a message, so the AOAKN and numbers are likely something else. The 5-letter groups are standard for older encryptions, as a way of removing word length as a clue to the open text. If this was a WWII code, then it might well be based on an Enigma type strategy, and a message this short would be pretty unbreakable. Perhaps someone from the old days will recognize something that will tell us otherwise. -- Peter Peter M.
