Dear Mr. Yang,
I am writing to let you know that I needed your help with my English writhing. Which is known to all, grammar plays a very vital part in the writing. But I feel that I have some problems of my grammar. I am afraid that I am not able to identify my specifically errors. I would be grateful if you could point out and correct your mistakes. What is more, I used to the Chinese way of thinking, which stops me organize my writing in a proper way. I am wondering that you could also help me improve the structures of my writing.
I am looking forward to making great progresses under your instruction. Thanks are extended to you in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
