Abridged Birkat HaMazon - Online?

Question

HaRav Binyamin Kwalwasser from Yeshivat Lev Hatorah taught us that Rabbi Abadi is of the opinion that it is better to say a shorter version of Birkat Hamazon after eating than not to say it at all. (IIRC, R' Kwalwasser said that R' Baruch Simon from YU agrees with R' Abadi regarding this subject.)

My question is: Is this abbreviated form of Bentching available on the Internet, as a PDF file or otherwise?

BTW R. Henkin (senior; contemporary of R. Moshe) held this way too. He also has a short version of bentching in his Kesavim, though I don't have the source offhand or the sefer with me to check. — Dov F, Jul 22 '12 at 20:39

The words of Rav Abadi's version can be found as a PDF here (although the vowels are somewhat corrupted) in the text of the Teshuva (Or Yitzchak I OC 59) where he discusses the permissibility of using a shortened version.

He writes in the responsa that it is based off the nusach of the Rambam. – b a Jul 22 '12 at 20:49

I wonder why he doesn't put "amen" after the third b'racha. – msh210 Jul 22 '12 at 20:51

@msh210 Because the Rambam doesn't. http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/27.htm – Double AA Jul 22 '12 at 20:59

A Google search for "birkat hamazon short form" turns up several pages, including this PDF from Harav Ariel Bar Tzadok. (Transliteration only, no Hebrew text.) I don't know who he is, but the page includes contact information.
