Titolo: Qualcuno potrebbe correggere cio' che ho scritto........e'  importante...

Potete dirmi se il significato di cio' che riporto sotto e' chiaro..?
chiedo la conferma della prenotazione di un appartamento e di uno
shuttle, nonche' la conferma
che il mio invio di denaro sia andato a buon fine.........please!
Vorrei che il tono risultasse senz'altro cortese ma anche deciso sul
fatto che non posso piu' aspettare una conferma..
Dear *********
my name is ****** **** and I'm writing from Italy.
On November 27th I send you my request for a room in your apartment
for next september 2008.
Following our agreement I send you a western union money transfer of
** 3998,90
TRANSFER NUMBER: *********
RECEIVER NAME: ************
I have been worried about my booking because I haven't yet received
your confirmation.
Have you had any problems with it?
Please I need a confirmation for my booking of the apartment e for
transfert from **** to *****.
With the best regard,
********

 your confirmation.
Chiarissimo.
Blocca subito il trasferimento di contanti.
Se i truffatori hanno già ritirato il denaro c'è poco
da fare. Puoi provare a rivolgerti ai carabinieri tanto per
fare qualcosa.

 Non si tratta di truffatori, ma di una persona accreditata da persone
che conosco.
 E comunque l'oggetto della mia domanda non era un consiglio sul da
farsi, ma piuttosto che la mail
 fosse scritta nel modo piu' corretto possibile, data la delicatezza e
l'importanza della questione.
 Grazie comunque.

 l'importanza della questione.
Allora provo a risponderti sulla tua lettera anche se il mio
inglese non č migliore del tuo.

 ...because I haven't received your confirmation yet
"I still haven't ... " ha un tono un po' più deciso di "I haven't ... yet".

Ok!!...................
E per dire che ho fatto un controllo alla western union ma mi hanno
detto che
il contante che ho mandato come caparra non e' ancora stato ritirato,
puo' andare se scrivo cosi'?:
I have checked with Western Union but they told me you haven't take
your earnest money yet..


 Have you had any problems with it?
avrei detto: was there any problem?

    questo ok!!

You can say "The show took in $100,000 in its first week", and you can also
say "The (box-office) take after the show's first week was $100,000", but
you can't say "The show took $100,000 in its first week".

You can say 'The show took £100,000 in its first week' , though .

Yes, there is a significant cultural difference, although we seem to be much
more reluctant to omit  the prepostion than the UK is to occasionally
include the preposition.
