Could you help to correct this English writting if there is any problem in it?

Question

It goes this way:
"Hey, Jim,How are you?
You shoudn't be believing in these kind of mails. It's a hoax.I am getting lots of it, too.
It's been a long time. Hope to hear more from you."
Are there any grammatical problem?Tense problems?And punctuation mistakes?

Background:
Jim wrote to his friend,telling that he got some strange mails in his mailbox,didn't know what the mail read was true or false.

Answer 1

First off, let me call your attention to the fact that you are getting lots of answers to this question that differ from one another. They all make good points. You should know that there is no single correct way to write this letter. If ten people were writing a letter with this content there would likely be ten different versions with vocabulary, grammar, possibly even the spelling of certain words different. I get that you are trying to improve your English which is admirable. Just don't think there is only one right way and certainly don't think that all or even most of those born in an English-speaking country are going to produce a version better than yours as it stands right now. That said, here is how I might write this letter, two slightly different versions, but both acceptable:

Hey, Jim. How are you?

You shouldn't believe that kind of mail. They are hoaxes. I've gotten a lot of mail like that too. Just ignore it.

It's been a long time since I've heard from you. Hope to hear more from you soon.


Hey, Jim, how are you?

Don't believe mail like that, Jim. It's just a hoax. I get mail like that all the time. Just ignore it.

It's good to hear from you. Haven't heard from you in a long time. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Answer 2

"Hey, Jim,How are you?
You shouldn't believe this kind of mail. It is a hoax.
I get lots of it, too.
It's been a long time since I heard from you. Hope to hear more from you."

NOTE
The main problems are: if something is singular...keep the sentence singular. (kind)
The Present Continuous (I am believing) is only used for an action that is happening NOW. (I am making coffee).

If you are Spanish speaker, use the Present simple where you would use 'Ser' - I am a man. I am a painter or for things which happen regularly - I get lots of e-mail. I do gymn every evening.

And where you would use 'Estar' - use the present continuous I am working, I am painting.

Answer 3

"Hey, Jim,How are you?
You shoudn't be believing in these kind of mails. It's a hoax.I am getting lots of it, too.
It's been a long time. Hope to hear more from you."

Well, here are some changes to make it easier to read.

"Hey Jim, how are you?
You shouldn't believe these kind of mails. They're just hoaxes. I've been getting a lot of them too.
It's been a long time and I hope to hear more from you"

Or. - I'd write it something like this ->

Hey, Jim! How are you?
You really shouldn't believe these kind of mails, they're just hoaxes. Infact, I've been getting a lot of them too.

It really has been a long time buddy, I hope to hear more from you.


It's all grammatically "good" though.

Answer 4

Hey, Jim. [punctuation]

[punctuation]How are you?

You shouldn't [spelling] believe [grammar] in these kind of mails. It's a hoax. I am getting many of them, too.

It's been a long time. Hope to hear more from you.

------------------
Also, writing is with 1 "t".

Answer 5

"Hey Jim, how are you?

You shoudn't believe in these kind of mails. They are hoaxes, I am getting lots of them too.

It's been a long time. Hope to hear more from you."

Answer 6

First, "writing" only has one "t."

"Hey, Jim, how are you?"

You shouldn't believe this kind of mail. It's a hoax. I am getting alot too.

"It's been a long time. Hope to hear from you."

I'm assuming that these are three separate problems/issues. I don't get how they would fit together.

Answer 7

Technically, yes there are a few mistakes. However, there are two things to keep in mind:

1. Formal written English is one thing; email English quite another. If you are able to communicate your meaning, that's more important than punctuation.
2. Written English has one set of grammar rules, while spoken English is entirely different. Only foreigners speak the way they write. The email is an informal, almost spoken way of communicating.

Answer 8

There should be a little gap between comma and How.
Shouldn't is missing the L.
Also gap between hoax. and I.
That's all only little things like typing errors. Don't worry it's fine.
Hope I've helped.

Answer 9

There are all kinds of mistakes.
Yes, punctuation & grammar.

Answer 10

You don't need to use the "quote" marks unless you are repeating what someone or yourself has said. For example, Jan said "I don't want that", and Paul said, "Well, don't have it", etcetera.
