FWIW I think you write well. I would've assumed you were a native speaker.
Oh, OP is way beyond 'native speaker'; and really impressive.
Remember, today's average writer pluralizes 'e-mail' with an s - probably with an apostrophe - and also uses 'the ask' and 'the spend', for example. This is so much better.
Thanks. Like I said I write well but informally. It's the "professional" style associated with cover letters or product sales that I have a problem with. I've noticed some people can even speak fluently in a similar manner without problems.
Was hoping to see specific authors good at this style of writing but instead most answers are "just pick someone good".
