Hi there!
I would be glad to offer my services checking this translation, however I hope you don't mind me being new at this. Also, this is only to check to translation and not to alter it in any way, is that right?
If you say: "yes, i don't mind you checking". I can start right away.
One more thing: Is there a dead line to this?
Thanks for your patience and I hope I can work with you.

I don't mind your help at all! If there are inaccuracies, of course you'll point them out to me, in which case I'll modify the translation. ^^ There isn't really a deadline for this, but I'd just like to get this out ASAP. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

The rest seems alright. You'll notice that much of the changes are just to avoid repetition of verbs, adverbes, adjectives or expressions. Also I've got a recommandation to make, which is that you use many times the word "but". You should try to vary between "but","however" and "yet" when at all possible.
Thanks for the chance to work with you! I hope I was of some help.
