my try

i hope u are not seriously ill, what a pity i cant be there with you and nurse you. you would recover very quickly if i took care of you. well at least the weather is normal here. U can laze around on the beach, maybe even go swimming, i havent been on the beach this year yet, though its only 10 minutes from my home. to be honest i dont want to go there without you. Lenka , maybe you would like to study to be someone else? why dont you try to do it in Spain? You can study in English, maybe even in other languages, it depends on the school, the most important thing though it all costs money. But you can improve your Spanish while studyng and that will open all the ways for you. I think its much cooler to live here. Send me another picture of you. in memory. Im so glad for you.

But this is not a russian mail. It's not wrote by native speaker.

I'm positive it's written by the native speaker. Why do you think otherwise?

Оля is partly right. There are a few slips in the message. However, I think that it was written by a native Russian because it sounds natural. Someone with a very good command of Russian could possibly have written something of the kind. Not that there are a lot of comlicated words and phrases. It is just the style of the message that makes me think it was a native Russian speaker who wrote it.

There's actually only one error in the message :P

Мне кажется, нэтив-спикер не напишет "табой", "выздравила" "од дома", "англиский", "сматря", пусть даже и латиницей. Причем местоимение "ты" все время с большой буквы.

i think thats a native. maybe living in another country (presumably Spain) for a long time.

Quite possible.

Maybe, s/he's absolutley illiterate.

ia tak rad na Tebia v etom godu esho na pliazh nexodil.

he.

Yeah, I just didn't think about that. I first wrote 'he' but then decided to write s/he to avoid possible chastisement.

His style of writing reminds me of modern Internet slang: красавчег, йух, абстену etc.

Thanks for that, Yes he is a Russian native and has been living in spain for 10 years .. maybe he was drunk when he wrote it , hence the mistakes

There are actually no grammatical errors (apart from the 'na' I've marked in red) in the letter. But there are tons of spelling ones... I wouldn't write that way even if I was wasted.

Shoud the "na" actually be "dlya" ? my Russian is basic , but I would guess this is right.

It should be "за"

but can't you say "она нехорошая на меня"?

my mother says that

You can use 'на' in expressions such as: она зла на меня.
