Letter Writing

Please help me fix my letter

i'm tryin to write an formal letter to couple of unversites , so please help with this letter .
this one is really bad , so if yáll can please add/fix/rebuild it or whatever so it will look better i will appreciate ! ( by the way , don't worry about the spelling )

dear coach ,
My name is Guy Cohen , i'm from israel and i'm suggesting myself (to a ) (for your) college.
let me tell you about me ,
i was born in 83' , i played since i was 10 . i was the best scoring in the yough team of "Hapoel Eilat ( in the first legaue ) . after the yough team i got recuited ( i had no choice ) to the army . it wasnt that bad , cause i had my "Active Player " rights , so i was able to play and keep on shape at the time .
I played at Yotveta for 3 years, and i became the leader of my team .
i decided that i need to get education , and the states is the only place to fulfill my dream , combing basketball and school at the same time.

at july 2004 , i went to the eatern invitiual camp , and i got a few offers from some colleges , but i couldnt afford it , cause its was a divion III , and it's not full scholarship .
i did go to hilldale college ( at michigan ) and did a try out game there, so u can ask the coach DUMA what is my skills .
fortunally , when i played in the camp , some french coach saw me there and invite me to a tour in paris... i went to paris , and i did my tour there .
it was nice , but i don't want to play for money , i want to learn and get more educated , since i'm pretty young.

that's why i came back to israel.

understood that the full scholarship is usually given at april or even before , so that's the reason i'm writing u so soon.
i attached my resume from the camp plus a few pictures , and since then i improved myself alot .
i workin' right now on my tape , so you'll see me in the future .



thank you for your time

sincerly yours ,
bla bla

Go through it and fix the spelling, punctuation, capital letters and so on, as you clearly have the English language ability to do so. This will make it far easier for us to read and therefore help you. First tip though, you need to make it clear in the very first paragraph that you are writing to apply for an athletic scholarship, at the moment we don't find out what you are talking about until the very end.

mohen,

Clearly you are capable of writing better than you have demonstrated here. Your spelling capitalization still needs work.

No one here is paid to assist. We help because we want to help. Thus, when we see other who do not put much effort into their work, we tend to skip over their message as well.

Hi,

Yes, I am serious--we don't get paid for helping.

Here's the problem: If your current letter is truly the best you can do, then you are in trouble. You will not be able to function at the university level. You need to work on improving your English first.

Have you taken the TOEFL language test yet? Is your score sufficiently strong that you can gain access to

Mohen,

Go through your letter and put it into a more formal style. You have the ability, so sort it out to the best possible draft you can, and then we will help you. Y
