please help me. I need your help! :) [German text corrections]

Hi!
I've been looking for a german for a few days. I have a problem. I know that it may sound stupid but i hope you help me. I had to write a letter in german, and that letter has to be written without mistakes because i wanna get the best grade. And my question is, would anybody chech my letter and correct mistakes? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Here's the letter:

Liebe Agnes!

Herzlichen Dank für Deinen Brief. Ich habe mich darüber sehr gefreut.

Ich heiße Paweł, ich bin 17 Jahre alt und wohne in Polen. Meine Familie besteht aus 5 Personen. Das sind: ich, meine Mutter - sie heißt Lucyna und arbeitet im Krankenhaus, mein Vater, und meinen zwei Brüdern. Ihre Vornamen sind Łukasz und Mateusz. Łukasz ist älter als Mateusz. Er ist 18 Jahre alt. Mateusz ist noch Schüler und lernt in der Grundschule. Meine Familie ist wirklich nett und zu Hause herrscht eine freundliche Atmosphäre. Ich interessiere mich für Filme. Am meisten mag ich Horrorfilme. Mein Hobby ist Schwimmen. Ich liebe Tauchen oder die Wasserrutsche. In meiner Freizeit gehe ich gern ins Kino oder höre Musik.

So, das war's für dieses Mal. Wie ist Deine E-Mail-Adresse? Ich möchte mit Dir chatten. Ich grüße Dich und hoffe, wir treffen uns irgendwann.

Dein Paweł

Hi Pawel,

Sorry can't help but it was fun reading your letter as I understood it completely! Considering I have 2 years of German from about 20 years ago in school and rarely used it since (I'm in the French part) that made my day. Probably also means that your letter needs a bit of work . I'm sure one of the helpful regulars will lend a hand.

Think you might have better luck at something like 'deutschesforum.ch'?

Horror-flick fan that likes being in the water? Sounds like me at 17... actually, sounds like me right now.

As nomadic says, you might have more luck elsewhere.
This is a forum for English speaking people, living in Switzerland or planning to come here.
Hope you get someone to help you though.

In addition to jj muge's corrections, I have some others to propose. "Sehr darüber gefreut" sounds more natural than "darüber sehr gefreut" imho, and in German it is considered rather rude to mention yourself first. In a list of people, you go last

HTH
