Korrektur eines Briefes

[Migoli]

Hallo,
ich bin neu hier in diesem Forum und ich hoffe, dass meine Anfrage hier richtig ist. Ich möchte jemandem auf einen Brief antworten und würde mich freuen, wenn jemand sich die Mühe machen würde nochmal drüber zu gucken. Vielen Dank im voraus.

I was so glad about getting a letter from you and this time it was on me to be very surprised. I was hasitant to send the letter to you, because I didn`t tell you my name and I was not sure, whether you know who I am. To tell the truth I can't still believe it.
Please apologize, that I had written your name in a wrong way, but I took the notation of your name plate. I don't know your surname, so I hope this letter will reach you.
It is difficult to me to find a good beginning, because there are only a few things I know about you. I know you are working very much in this time, but what do you do in your free time? Was macht Dir besonderen Spass?(Konnte ich nicht gut übersetzen) Do you like music? What is your favourite color and when is your birthday?
I could fill now a lot of pages with many questions, but maybe it's enough for a beginning.
Yes, I would like to come again, but why should I ask my mother? Mallorca is very beautiful and there are still so many places I didn't have seen. It would be great to see you again.(ich wollte sagen: es wäre schön dich wieder zu sehen)
I like it very much to travel and I'm very interested to learn about other countrys, culltures and people and I love to fly. Unfortunately I had not many chances to travel in the last few years and I hope this will be changed in the future.
Since two years I am working as a self-employed softwaredeveloper. In my free time I like to meet my friends just to talk, have fun or watch movies together. Even I like to stay for myself in my flat and read a book, listen to music or sing just for me. Thank god, nobody have to listen.
These were just a few facts about me, so that you will have a first imagination what kind of person is writing you.
At this moment I don't have a photo I could send to you. I saved them on my computer and I have to develop them first. I hope you will allthough answer me again and probably I will send a photo to you next time.

Hoffe, das hilft Dir ein wenig weiter Ich habe versucht, ziemlich gruendlich zu sein, aber gebe keine Gewaehr

What do you do to have fun?
besser ist meiner meinung nach ein einfaches:
What do you do for fun?

Ich wuerde auch nicht "develop" nehmen um Bilder vom Computer auszudrucken. "print" geht auch.

so that you will have a first imagination
kannst du ersetzen durch
to give you an idea

Stimmt, cavem, das laesst das ganze noch natuerlicher klingen.

Danke für Eure Hilfe.
..., but I took the notation of your name plate.
Ich wollte sagen: aber ich habe die Schreibweise Deines Namenschildes übernommen.
Vielleicht wäre spelling besser als notation?

Achso, sorry, da habe ich zu kompliziert gedacht. Du koenntest auch sowas sagen wie

"...but I just copied it off your name plate/badge"

[Migoli]

Wow, vielen lieben Dank!
Es wäre toll, wenn ich auch bei eventuellen weiteren Briefen wieder Hilfe bekommen könnte.
Liebe Grüsse
