An old friend's mother died a few days ago. We've only talked through email and messenger for the past 7 years. I want to write him an email but it has to be in spanish. Im not too good with words in Spanish so I cant come up with anything to write, but I dont want it to sound careless or stupid. If anyone who speaks spanish can give me some ideas that would be very appreciated!!

You started off with an actual argument, then just started whining. Pick one. Personally, I would stick with the argument -increase your chances of getting him to agree. One question, though is why dont you just ask him in person? Its a lot more personal, and you can argue properly that way. I don't really understand the part about his kids, and I'm not sure why thats even in there, but I can't see him getting mad or anything. Honestly, I wouldn't have sent this email. Sounds mean, I know, but its true. You shouldn't have compared his grading system to other teachers, because it was fine without that. The mutch was a bit corny. The whining was annoying. You were good by giving the problem and then giving honest ways of giving you the points without just handing them out, but the comparisons and presentations wouldn't exactly make me happy if I was your teacher. They kinda seem a bit disrespectful as well. Advice for next time: Only if you can't see him/her in person, then write an email. Make sure you have good grammar/spelling because they will listen better that way. Give a good argument, but don't make it too long because they don't want to read that much. A little whining is ok, but as a joke not really as actual whining. Don't say how wrong their ideas are, and definitely don't compare them to other teachers -just say why you think you should get extra points/ whatever you are asking for. anyway, hope he agrees -I hate when my grade falls just a few points short...

This is simple, yet heartfelt:
Dear (name),
I was saddened to hear the news about the death of your mother,
My thoughts are with you and your loved ones during this difficult time of loss.
You are in prayers, and remember that "Those who live in the hearts of others never die."
Keeping you in my thoughts during this difficult time,
(Your Signature)
Translation to Spanish:
Querido (name/nombre), era entristecido para oír las noticias sobre la muerte de su madre, mis pensamientos están con usted y su amó unos durante esta época difícil de la pérdida. Usted está en rezos, y recuerda eso "los a que vivo en los corazones de otros nunca muera." Mantenerle mis pensamientos durante este tiempo difícil, (your signature/Su Firma)
I hope that this is helpful.

Enter the text and pick a language to translate it to. The grammar after translation will not be perfect but you sentiments will be conveyed.
