need genuine advice, a letter to my boss

slightly edited for privacy. I need some serious input. Huge possibilities lurking over the next three weeks.
Dear --- and ----,
Not sure who I should contact about this, so here is an email to you both.
It was recently brought to my attention that Roshan plans to leave 9 the restaurant) within a few weeks. This was exciting news for me to hear. I have been waiting this out since October for a chance to advance( through many trials and co-worker dramas, and a lot of hard ass busting work). Through months of work, going above and beyond the job description, and in general making my job at my shop my life( for normal pay), I have come to realize that I know I am the guy for you, to take over the Peachtree store as the general manager. It is about a 25 minute drive for me, and I was hoping to be the manager at the Alpharetta store, when the new store opens, but I hope to fill the available position that will soon need a dedicated man. I am ready and able to perform all duties asked of me, and will be happy with a deserving salary pay for the job, and will put all necessary overtime to make my store the best( the best!!) I have already shown I am capable of running the place, from open to close, without (my boss) being around. All that stands in my way is some minimal training of the fine print that my boss has not shown me yet. I have two years solid experience waiting tables, and I offer the best, warmhearted, and genuine customer service a man can offer. I truly will make the customers dining experience a satisfying and great experience. My Work history is 2 years at Steak and Shake as a server, Six months regular worker at W.G. Grinders sandwich/catering shop, and also six years of lawn and landscape work( all the lawn and landscape work makes me a great guy to do all the hard stuff, and I always step up, and pull more weight, even though I don?t have to) I feel like when I first started at (the shop) I was not mature enough to handle the manager position, but now I assure, that you I am, and I hope you give me the chance.
MOB LEADER: I really haven?t talked to you much, but since we last talked, I?ve been working full time at the store, and also doing some marketing. In total, I did( approximately) 23 hours of marketing( for $8 an hour, no gas money or higher pay required) Through my marketing efforts, our store has received orders from 5 separate companies, with repeat orders, making my personal sales at around $1000( which is not that much, albeit) My point being that I am capable of making the catering needs happen, I can handle lots of stress, and work well under pressure. I Hope Peggy( the new marketing lady) can continue to do good for the store, and generate that much needed business.
SECOND IN COMMANDS; Thanks for all your help, and good vibes towards me. I am sorry the marketing campaign did not work out for me!! It?s just not something I can do full time. But I am cut out for managing, without a doubt. It?s in my inert nature( I?m a Leo) to be a leader, and an honest person, and have been my whole life. I will be completely honest with you now. I have made some smoothies without paying for them, and occasionally I will munch on some cranberries and cashews but that is going to stop( unless I pay for them). I hope me telling you this does not affect my opportunity with the store. You already know my work ethics, and I hope to have a ong, and sucessful buisness partnership with you. Also, I need to speak to you about geting tthe door to door flyer and mailbox campign up and running. This will require some printed material with an advertising speal to draw in the masses.
As far as everything else, I have practically been a manager in training for two months, thanks to the help from my boss( who by the way is a great man, and boss, despite his shortcomings.)
In closing, all I ask is that you give me a chance. Of course with this chance would have to come a pay raise, and we could speak about that in person. I also would have brought this up to you in person but It?s hard to get the time to sit down with you guys and truly express how I feel.
Where I am right now in my life, I will stay with yall, probably for at least two years, to save money. Eventually I want to go back to school. But I will mention one thing, if this position is given to someone else, I will feel pretty let down. I feel like I really have earned this position, and if I have to wait even longer for a pay raise, I will probably put in my two weeks and continue ?Local Lawns? which is my families small and local lawn and landscape business. it's jsut not worth it to me.. I've been doing way to much managers duties and extra work, without the pay, to justify me staying much longer. But I hope you keep me around.. I feelliek it was destiny me working here( as corny as that sounds) It was the FIRST place I went to, on my job hunt, and I was hired ont he spot. And since then, everything has fallen in palce for both of us to benefit.
Sincerely -My name

Any advice on what to add, what to take out, if it is too revealing. English or grammar errors, if it's too long, etc... ANYTHING.. come on guys.. What should I add, is this the right way to ask for the position? That is what I need to know.. help a long time shroomer out. I've been here since 2002 and the pun has never let me down. Sorry for my impatience. I will wait for the wise ones

I know that feeling pretty well. A lot of times I get just enough energy to where I keep mindlessly surfing this site, I want to sleep, but something keeps my eyes glued to the screen.

Dude, I would make it a little more formal. Employers generally don't want to hear about "vibes" or care about what sign you are.
Maybe someone else can help you with this, but the language seems a little casual at the moment.

I thought about that. But I really wanted to express who I was, and where I am coming from. I think I might leave it in there.. I will see tommorow when I am sober, and hungover fom .5 mg of xanax and 1.5 grams of some medium to low quality blow( but clean cut, no other drugs except a clean filler/binder)

Hah, we've talked before on aim, several times.. I'm flowstone .. I've posted as over 15 different names, in my time here. But I've been around a long ass time.. 5 more shrooms for you bro.I'm currently working on getting my original account unbanned. I know the pub will come through as always, I just need to keep this on page one. until I get at least a few constructive advice comments. Sorry if I seem too needy, I know I am asking allot, to read that long ass letter of a rant, and the rest of my post whorish personality.

Oh yeah.. How come you keep switching accounts? I had one other account before, a while ago, but I stopped posting from it. Wasn't your original one 2Experimental or something like that?

Yeah, that was so long ago. my personality as 2experimental has changed greatly. I look back on old posts and it embarrasses me sometimes. But I don't hide who I am, this place has done me the great deed of helping me mature, and educating me in TONS of areas I would have known about. Long live the shroomery. I switch most of the time because i get banned( for stupid shit ) But it's fun, and funny, and lots of good vibes and times. Lots of love to all the pubbers. Checkout OTD once in a while. I am shining example that good people really can post there, and commune with all the wackos, and still have Good time. OTD is really witty and funny most of the time. Too bad you gotta wade through a Lot of shit to get to the golden times. But I'm pretty much desensitized to violence and any nasty ass pictures the pirates post, over there.
