Jan. 21st, 2009 12:26 pmI was hoping someone would be able to guide me in corrections to this email I'd like to send. Normally, I'd ask my grandparents but I'd like to try here first. Also, if this sounds polite instead of pushy. I've been hearing that aside from Вы, Americans tend to be much more formal. Anyway.
Тоже хотела спрашивать вам если можно остаться с вами для три месяца. Я получила бесплатный "internship" для искусство в Москве. Знаю что это долго время остаться но я могу заплатить за все мои вещи. Ну если это труда вас что я была там так догло пожалуйста скажите!

It is hard to give sound advice. Still, the last part seems to me to hint of blackmailing (although, it might be an overestimation), I hate to naturally phrase things like that.
Like, you know, people, of course you can abandon me in this, but then at least write to me about it. You wouldn't tell me, if I don't ask you, I know! So I do ask you directly. When you're betraying my helpless self, do come clean immediately! I wouldn't ask for your help, if I had a house of my own.
Deny it or not, there's an option of devising such evil thoughts from careless phrases :].
But exclamation in the original text looks so out of place for me, anyways.
Heh. >_<
