The thought of you writing with tears in your eyes is an unbearable image, and I would love to help. Unfortunately, in this crucial hour of need your punctuation has let you down badly. I have spotted three instances of commas used in place of full stops, three instances of no comma inserted when one was necessary, and one instance of the denial of the semi-colon. I should also point out that the word I is a first-person singular nominative personal pronoun, and as such should always be upper case. As a fastidious and pedantic man I find these misdemeanours even harder to bear than the image of you writing with tears in your eyes - which, incidentally, is the probable cause of your errors. Therefore I can only offer my sympathies for your predicament and advise that you wipe your eyes before writing the next letter. Rgds Robert
