Thử thách Việt-->Anh (No.2)

I am sorry about the duplicate, I accidently hit post 2 times or ??? . Mods , please help me to delete one .
Thank a lot .

Now let me just say, Gerbich... In ALL of my years of speaking English, writing, conversing or just plainly using English in general...I have NEVER seen "Dear Gentlemen" at the beginning of a letter address to an INDIVIDUAL. o_o
It is often addressed to a group of people, and in a conversing situation only.
But I could be wrong..^^;;..
I appreciate the effort though. And to be frank, I think all the mentioned translations are all quite appropriate, if you ignore bits and pieces, little errors here and there that may I add..HAPPEN TO THE BEST of writers. If you want to get all fussy about it, there are many ways, one of which, I could turn this simple paragraph into one big long arse essay. But I''m not going to do that..It''s just a reply. A short and simple one..^^
That''s just my two cents. Sorry if I have offended anybody. I mean no harm. =) And I''m actually quite impressed with most people''s ability to speak English in this forum. =)

I just want to clarify that I did not mean to give you the impression that I was critisizing yours letters were incorrect . ( nếu các bạn có hiểu lầm thì cho Gerbich xin lỗi nhe )
I just want to give some input and share my personal style of writing .
Before I answer the questions , may I ask how have you applied english into your daily life ?
Translation is a very wide topic to discuss , but I have some important points I would like to go throught .
1). We can''t translate directly word for word .
2). Many words can be used improperly in sentences when we are directly translating from one language to another .
3). Certain words and phrases may be used differently depending on the field we are discussing .
In order to write ( or translate ) a good business letter . It is essential to get a main point across concisly . There are many words usages that we do not generally see but it does not mean that It''s incorrect .
The way I use English in everyday life is affected by my environment ; therefore , each individual has a different voice in his/her writing style .
Because I have some technical problem with my computer . I will have to continue our discussion later .

Firstly, I''d like to say that I am quite impressed with your English Gerbich. =)
Secondly..how have I applied English into my daily life?
Hmm..let''s see. I speak it at school, after school, at the shops. I write it in every subject I do, History, Geography, Literature, even Science and Maths. I write my personal diary in English, I converse with my friends in English (since none of them can speak Vietnamese). So let me just say..English IS my daily life. I don''t need to -apply- it.
I take into account of your OWN unique type of writing =), and I have no problem nor critics towards that, I was merely commenting that I have never seen it before. ^^;; I''m sorry if you were offended in anyway.
^^ I also don''t mean to brag about me, or my English, especially you and your English. ^^
I was just commenting, if I have offended you in anyway, I am sincerely sorry.
Take care. =)

Hello Sil,
Thank for reminding me. As the matter of fact, I hav not written formal mails 4 a long time. I get used to with letters 4 buddies .Anyway, thanks. I appreciate that
YourS sincerely (well, it sounds strange to me)
To all : guys, u make me confusing . However, that''''''''s better to know more. But I need someone who can verify all things (I dont mean the translation, I mean the usage of some words u mentioned cuz i see somehow u r not sure). Although my major is international economics, I havnt known how to write a biz mail. Please help me as much as possible. Ok ?
