Hello room! I am a student of Ha Noi Architechtural University. And forgive to me because my English is not good.
I need an advice from you. I have a hotmail account and I have received a mail this morning from a friend at Africa.
If she say the truth, she is poor but it is difficult to me to believe her. Please read the content of the mail and give me an advice:
"Hello Dearest one ,
How are you today?..
I believe that you are doing well.
i am happy to read your mail this morning.
Iam writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow.
My name is Grace Kumah from Ivory Coast in West Africa.
Presently i am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar Senegal.
as a result of the civil war going on in my country. I am 23 years old girl 5'9" tall.My late father Dr Patrick Kumah was the personal
advicer to the former head of state (Late Dr Robert Guei) before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed him alondside with my mother.
It is only me that is alive now and i managed to make
my way to a near by country Senegal where i am living now
Please I will like to know more about you.
Your likes and dislikes and what you are doing
presently.In this camp we are only allowed to go out only on Mondays and Fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon. I don't have any relatives now whom i can go to as all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war. The only person i know here is Rev.Stave Johnson who is the pastor of the (Living Spring Christian Church) here in the camp, i live in the females's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.
The Pastors Tel number is (+221-775-914-136) if you call, please tell him that you want to speak with me so that he will send for me in the hostel.. call 2pm gmt today please.As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to the death of my parents took place.
Please listen to this,i have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $6.5m usd (Six Million five Hundred Thousand Dollars). So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to your place for a better life. Please my dear, do not think about it that it is too early for me to tell you this, because any one that is in this kind of situation, will be looking for a help in any where.
I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me. So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it. Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you.I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of vision , truth and hard working. My favourite language is also English..Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said Call around 2pm gmt time. i have a lot to tell you.
here is my picture.
waiting for your urgent response so that we can proceed.
Send to me Your Full names , address , occupation and telephone number:
Upon receiving all this information from you i will then draft a mail to the bank to present you as my partner after which i will equally give you their contact details , so that when you contact them they will honor your application .
I am forever yours , Ms. Grace Kumah "

:confused:i feel so confused when reading this letter!What is the writer's purpose?would it be true if she really needed your help?the content is lack of coherence!at the beginning, i think it for sharing, but then, "Please I will like to know more about you.
Your likes and dislikes and what you are doing" - it is likely a pen pal(^_^)/ Finally, finishing by asking for help!any way, no trusting here.:confused:

after reading the letter that meo mun had recieved, i think that even though the content of the letter seemed to be serious and honest, this is not believable. Be careful because there are so many cheating letters in the Internet.
any way i hope that all of u will give lots of interesting topics and we can discuss them together.:)

Hi everybody! I have received a letter from a Japanese friend last morning. I want to write a letter for her. Please read my letter and give me an advice. Thanks!
“Hi Ayako Ohno!
I’m glad when I received your letter. Forgive to me, I can’t reply soon because I’m busy with my graduate project.
Well, as you know, I’m Khuyen. Vietnamese is the language has the marks. That my full name is “Tưởng Thị Tú Khuyên”. “Tưởng” is my surname, “Thị” and “Tú” is my middle name and “Khuyên” is my last name.
I was born at August 18, 1987.
I am the fifth year student of Ha Noi Architechtural University. I will graduate at 06/2010 and will become a water supply and draigane engineer. I learn about water supply system, waste water system, feed water treatment, waste water treatment, water supply plant, water supply and drainage for construction works…
There are four people in my family: my parents, I and my younger brother. My father left Viet Nam Army at 1988. My mother is a Mathematic teacher. My younger brother younger than me 10 yearsold. He is a pupil at a primary school. I live in Ha Noi – capital of Viet Nam to study from 2005 and my family live in my hometown - Thai Binh province far away about 100 kilometres.
I live in a hostel room with 7 others people. It is narrow, crowded but we are happy and solidarity. We had two rabbits before.
I am single and haven’t boyfriend.
My hobbies are reading books and listening music. I like the book have title Never eat alone – Keith Ferrazzi. I like white rose. I like badminton. I like many of movies, special is The Parent Trap, Finding Nemo, Titanic,...
It’s interesting when to hear from you about Vietnamese foods. Ca Phe Sua is made by coffee and milk. Goi cuon is made by shrimp, meat, vegetable, noodle, cabbage, carrot…
For now, I close my letter. I hope hear more from you!
Good luck to you!
Your new friend
Tu Khuyen”

26-04-2010, 10:21 PM
em đọc sơ qua thì thấy có mấy lỗi ngữ pháp :"Vietnamese is the language has the marks"-> vietnamese is the language which has the marks
"My younger brother younger than me " -> my younger brother is younger than me....
"I live in Ha Noi – capital of Viet Nam to study from 2005 and my family live in my hometown - Thai Binh province far away about 100 kilometres. "->I live in HN - the capital of VN - to study from 2005; and my family live in my hometown -TB province where far away HN about 100 kilometres.
"I live in a hostel room" -> i'm living.......
"I like white rose. I like badminton. I like many of movies, special is The Parent Trap, Finding Nemo, Titanic,..", trong tiếng anh witing, người ta hạn chế viết nhìu simple sentence cùng lúc, sẽ bị coi là học sinh tiêu học đang tập viết,hix, nhất là những câu cùng cấu trúc kiểu như" i like ,,,,", thía nên có thể kết hợp nó lại như" i like white rose, badminton,,,,,"
em cũng chả bít mình bắt lỗi đúng không nữa, hehe, có gì chị iamme xem giùm em nhé,:), em mới học tiếng anh chuyên ngành dc 1 năm thôi. hj, mà bọn em học về viết thư cho đối tác kinh tế cơ, hehe

Dear Ayako Ohno,
I’m glad when I received your letter. I am so sorry that I can’t reply soon because I’m busy with my graduation project.
Well, as you know, I’m Khuyen. In Vietnamese, my full name is “Tưởng Thị Tú Khuyên”. “Tưởng” is my surname, “Thị” and “Tú” is my middle name and “Khuyên” is my last name.
I was born on August 18, 1987.
I am the final year student of Ha Noi Architechtural University. I will graduate in 06/2010 and become a water supply and draigane engineer. I have learnt about water supply system, waste water system, feed water treatment, waste water treatment, water supply plant, water supply and drainage for construction work.
There are four people in my family: my parents, my younger brother and me. My father left Viet Nam Army at 1988. My mother is a Mathematic teacher. My brother is 10years younger than me.

It’s interesting when you said about Vietnamese foods. "Ca Phe Sua" is made of coffee and milk. "Goi cuon" is made of shrimp, meat, vegetable, noodle, cabbage, and carrot.
I think I should stop my letter now. I am looking forward recieving your letter!

26-04-2010, 10:43 PM
và" I like the book have title Never eat alone – Keith Ferrazzi." -> i like the book which has the ,,,,,,, ;"we are happy and solidarity"-> solidarity là (N), ko đi cùng happy(A) trong cùng cấu trúc "and" đc vì sẽ vi phạm cấu trúc parralellism, -> "happy and united" chẳng hạn;"listening music" -> listening to music", "I close my letter" -> i will close;sau "new friend" nên có dấu phấy. Trong tiếng anh mấy cái dấu má đòi hỏi rất cao, hj.

Going along the topic *Ngày hôm nay của bạn thế nào* and from its original version *Chat in English*, i would like to change it in to this top with the name above.
it's very difficult to find close topics for us to chat, to talk about regularly,so i hope this change will help you feel easier in saying what you wanna say, what happen to u on day,how will people help you to solve your problem. Then, of course i believe that you can gain lots of things.
it's time to improve your Eng. we will together to practice our Eng, for example we will tell you what's wrong in your writing, how a word is used in a specific situation. Don't shy and be afraid that you are not good at Eng. don't scare and angry or embarrassed when some one try to edit your errors in your writing. we are helping each other!
so..............LET'S START!
Đi cùng với topic *ngày hôm nay của bạn thế nào*,cái topic này được chuyển từ nguyên gốc của topic *chat in english*
vì rất là khó để ngày nào cũng có thể tìm ra 1 cái chủ đề nào đó dễ nói, phổ biến cho mọi người nói bằng tiếng anh,nên topic này ......có thế coi như chết được. mình hi vọng sự thay đổi này sẽ giúp mọi người cảm thấy dễ dàng hơn và thoải mái hơn trong việc có thể nói ra bất cứ lúc nào,về bất cứ vấn đề gì mà bạn muốn nói.
Như vậy,bạn không chỉ có thể giải quyết được vấn đề của mình,bạn còn có thể luyện tập việc sử dụng tiếng anh.Đừng ngại,cùng đừng giận hay xấu hổ khi ai đó sửa lỗi của bạn,chúng ta chỉ đang cố gắng giúp nhau hoàn thiện hơn thôi,chẳng phải mọi người cũng luôn kêu gào về tiếng anh của mình sao.vậy tại sao ko thử cái này.
so....LET'S START!
you know the saying *NO PAIN - NO GAIN*
there is nothing that make you painful here. just only it's a little bit hard to start!but don't mind!
anyway, i love you - it's the truth (an unrelated ending, just kidding) =))
