I'm mostly just glad to be in a country where it is more socially acceptable to be direct. I would be a bit more formal than the original email, but the rewritten version seems really watered down and tip-toed in comparison.

I think that is changing through ChatGPT and the likes though, even it's non-English output has a distinct American tone to it that I'm starting to see more in professional emails. I have seen too many literal translations of "I hope this message finds you well" already, it's kinda ridiculous

Grammar aside, it's an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

Aber auswandern wohin..? Mir scheint so als wenn es kaum ein Land gibt welches gerade nicht auf einem antidemokratischen Kurs unterwegs ist. :/

As a second-year uni student I applied for a tutoring job at the university. I was still underage by a few weeks when the semester started, which caused them a bit of extra bureaucratic hassle when I was supposed to sign the contract.
