I would be ashamed if that were my letter... only because the grammar is so far off that it is laughable. That poor grammar and sentence structure makes the case far less effective.

Yes, I thought about that.

But

Older man from Hawaii,

perhaps not well educated ...

I think the odd grammar and the errors make it that much more “genuine” and interesting ...

As though someone would fabricate a letter and on purpose use poor grammar?

I take it you’ve never lived in Hawaii. Many educated people as well as not so educated people speak pidgin. Hawaiian English is not like mainland English.
