Letter to family - please help !
Hello italki friends. I am trying to write an email to a French family member to ask them a favour. Favours are tricky enough in one's first language, so I thought I would ask for some help so that I don't cause huge offence. Here is my attempt and below that is what I actually want to say. Please if you can, help me out. I would really appreciate it and would be more than happy to correct any English things for you.

:)

Bonjour Sophie, Simon et toute la famille

J'espère que vous allez bien et que vous avez passé un bon weekend.

Cela fait si longtemps que l'on ne s'est pas contacté. En décembre j'ai reçu ma licence et j'espère pour de commencer une maîtrise en Septembre en Europe. Actuellement je suis à la recherche d'un emploi temporaire. Je suis désireuse de travailler en France afin de perfectionner mon français. J'aimerai enseigner l'anglais depuis ma formation et j'ai l'expérience dans ce domaine d'avoir déjà enseigné de l’anglais pour pendant 8 mois dans le au Viêt-Nam. J'ai demandé de plusieurs fois l'emplois, sans succès.

Si vous connaissez des écoles anglaises ou des opportunités, ou si vous avez des idées, pourriez-vous me faire savoir s'il vous plaît?

Merci bien de votre assistance

[what I want to say]
Dear Sophie, Simon and family

I hope everyone is well and that you have had a good weekend. It has been a long time since we have spoken or seen each other. I graduated in December with a degree in Politics, Philosophy and English and will hopefully begin my masters studies in Europe in September. In between this time I was hoping to find a job in France so that I could improve my French. I have experience teaching English as a foreign language to children as I worked as a teacher in Vietnam in 2013. I have applied for several teaching positions. Unfortunately I have not found anything yet. I was wondering, if by chance, you know of opportunities or schools that I could contact? Or any good ideas for jobs or internships?

I really appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you.

All the best
