Can somebody please correct my english goodbye text?

Asked by RareHunterX (5points) March 5th, 2016

Hey everyone, sadly I have to tell you, that I am leaving the clan. Since long time I have Invitations from many clan’s out of top 5 , and because I am planning to play on elite level again, I need Elite partners who are active every time, because I work a long day and I can play only at eropean night time.

Please try to understand me, It shouldn’t be that i have finished the last season with 15.000 points more then the second one (even I didn’t played the last season day), and still have no rank in this clan, while there are some officers dawdleling on the last places. Also i can’t understand why the point limit was reduced from 4000 to 2000 points.On this way you will never reach top 20.

Please don’t be angry, you are all nice guys and I wish you all the best for the future. But my time is precious and I need the feeling to make progresses, which I don’t have here.

kind regards

Good bye, guys. I don’t like the new rule changes, and I’ve got other interests. Good luck, and good bye.

I would suggest this instead:

Hey everyone,

Sadly I have to tell you, that I am leaving the clan. For quite some time I have been receiving invitations from many top 5 clans. Because I am planning to play on the elite level again, I need elite partners who are constantly active. I also work all day and therefore I can only play during the night (european time)

Please try to understand, despite me never playing the last season day; I feel it is unfair that I have finished the last season with 15.000 points more then the second session. I still have no rank in this clan, while there are some officers dawdleling on the last places. Also I can’t understand why the point limit was reduced from 4000 to 2000 points. Because of this change I will never reach the top 20.

Please don’t take this personal, as I wish you all the best for the future. But my time is precious and I need to feel I am making progress and to be honest I don’t see this happening here.

Kind regards

I like @NerdyKeith ‘s edit. I would make two minor changes. ” 15.000 points more then the second session” I would change it to ”... more than .... season” Please check if it is season or session.
“Please don’t take this personally…”

I have no idea what you are playing but I am curious. Poker, Mahjong, Bridge….?

@LuckyGuy
That was actually a typo on my part. I think “session” is what @RareHunterX meant.

A few more minor changes!
– Punctuation adjustments: move comma in first sentence: “Sadly, I have to tell you that I am leaving the clan.” Also, no semicolon in sentence beginning second paragraph: “Please try to understand, despite my never playing the last season day, I feel it is unfair that I have finished . . .”
– Additionally, I believe “dawdleing” should be “dawdling”

I worked off of @NerdyKeith‘s response to get this:

Sadly, I have to tell you that I am leaving the clan. For quite some time I have been receiving invitations from many top 5 clans. Because I am planning to play on the elite level again, I need elite partners who are constantly active. I also work all day and therefore I can only play during the night (european time).

Please try to understand that despite me never playing the last season day, I feel it is unfair that I have finished the last season with 15.000 points more than the second session. I still have no rank in this clan while there are some officers dawdling on the last places. Also, I can’t understand why the point limit was reduced from 4000 to 2000 points. Because of this change I will never reach the top 20.

Please don’t take this personal, as I wish you all the best for the future. But my time is precious, I need to feel I am making progress, and to be honest, I don’t see this happening here.

Kind regards.

Edits:
1. “Sadly, I have to tell you that I am leaving the clan.” Moved the comma to after sadly.
2. Please try to understand that despite me never playing the last season day, I feel it is unfair that..” comma after _understand swapped with a that, and semicolon swapped with a comma.
3. “15.000 points more than” then—>than (spelling error)

4. “no rank in this clan while there..” omitted a comma
5. “dawdling” dawdeling—>dawdling (spelling error)
6. “Also, I can’t…” added a comma
7. “don’t take this personally” personal—>personally
8. ” time is precious, I need to feel I am making progress, and to be honest, ...” made them a list to avoid a run-on sentence.
9 “Kind regards.” Added a period.

Other notes:
“I feel it is unfair that I have finished the last season with 15.000 points more then the second session.” In this sentence, do you mean to distinguish season from session?

“officers dawdling on the last places.” This sounds strange to me, but it may be because I don’t understand the game. It seems like i’d be better worded as “dawdling in last place” or “dawdling in the last places.”
