  • Hi, I'm from ukproofreading,org and those letters still sounded pretty bad. For example, she used because twice in the same sentence, it may make sense, but its still not the impression you want to be giving across when applying for something.

  • Very good--but it should be "may I call you," not "can I" to be proper formal English.

  • I'm learning lots from you how to edit your writing series :)

  • Better sentence? It's horrible. She uses "because" twice and there's no commas in it.

  • Sorry, but it's not "trolling" but "trawling" that you meant in the "bad" example.

  • Dear expert village,

    when i was lookin up some vids, i found this video. The video is cool. Can you shoot me back an email and tell me what's up with expert village?
