He did give you the keys. In fact he gave you everything you need to decipher his message. The "18", I figure, is just the day in which these settings should be used. Ignore it.
Enigma machines weren't meant to be used as plug-and-play. For each day, you had to use a specific setting from the code book. You have your two suites of four letters to get your key, but you need to set the interior of the Enigma as well to the right settings.
Remember that Kriegsmarine M4 Enigma machines have four rotors. So, you must set the following four Rotors in this order: Rotor Beta, Rotor V, Rotor I, and Rotor III.
The Reflector (Each is designated by a letter): B
Each of the rotors' Ring setting inside the machine: 01(A) 05(E) 05(E) 19(S)
Plugs : AQ BL CT DR FY GI HS JK NO UZ. Link A to Q, B to L, C to T, and so on.
Set these inside the machine, then you set AZNM on the rotors. Type HXOU, and you should get PDUF. Reset the rotors, put PUDF on the rotors, and type away.
