Letter to the Administration Offices of Residence Halls

I filled out the online application form for the student dorms in UC3M today. Here's the absolute 'pearl' of my endeavour.

Name: Surname Kalevi,  Jope

It is crucial for me to have a place to stay in one of the UC3M residence halls because I'm not a proficient Spanish speaker and it would be very difficult for me to find and live in any other apartment. Not being able to communicate affects almost every aspect of life, making everything seem difficult. I suspect that I'd be able to focus on my studies better if I didn't have to worry about where and how to buy food and do my laundry, for example. On top of that, I have the same problems that all other exchange students face: I don't have any furniture or other necessities available nor do I have any acquaintances in Spain. Living in close proximity of other students might help me adapt to life in Madrid.

My goodness, what a load of bull! (And, I know: it's not the most coherent text either...) Why didn't I just write like this?

Yeap, I'd like to live there with you guys. That would be a blast. 
And no: I don't do drugs. Or guys.

So much more to the point, eh? Well, I'll remember this the next time I'm writing a letter to an administration office of a student dorm, I guess...
