This is what I need translating into Spanish:

--START--

" You will be aware what has happened between xx and me and I just wanted to write to you to express my gratitude for letting me stay at your house and providing so much for me. You were both very kind and I owe you a lot.

Seguramente Uds. saben lo que pas� entre xx y yo, y s�lo quer�a escribirles para expresarles mi gratitud por hospedarme y atenderme en vuestra casa. Fueron ambos muy amables y les debo un mont�n.

I feel bad for xx especially the way we split up, in hindsight of course I should have spoken to her face to face but I cannot change anything now, I snapped in the phone conversation I had with her and let my feelings out when I should have hold on to them and waited to tell her face to face.

Me siento mal respecto de xx especialmente por la forma de nuestra ruptura, vi�ndolo a la distancia por supuesto yo deber�a haber hablado personalmente, pero no puedo cambiar nada ahora, perd� la calma en la conversaci�n telef�nica que tuvimos y no med� mis emociones, cuando en realidad yo deber�a haber sido m�s calmo y haber hablado con ella,

xx, I am not sure if any of my belongings are still at your mum�s house but I am happy to collect them all if that�s ok? I know xx, understandably doesn�t want to talk to me so maybe its best if I came without her knowledge? However, I understand if this is not the best thing to do.

xx, no s� si algunas cosas m�as est�n todav�a en casa de tu mami, pero paso a retirarlas si te parece bien? Entiendo que xx no quiera hablar conmigo, quiz�s ser�a mejor que yo pasara sin que ella lo sepa? Con todo, entiendo que no es lo mejor.

Thanks again for everything though, like I said I appreciate everything you have done for me and I will never forget it. I intend to keep up the Spanish. It�s a shame it finished like it did.

Gracias una vez m�s por todo, nunca olvidar� lo que hicieron por m�, tratar� de seguir con mi espa�ol, es una pena que haya terminado as�

Kind Regards,

Muchos saludos
xx "

--END--

I would be ever so grateful to anybody that can help me out.

Kind regards,
Ben

Olgamar,

Many thanks for your translation, I owe you big time

. Although I can understand Spanish I really didn't feel confident enough to write a letter without making a fool of myself.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi!
Just one comment... I think the use of if here is important.

Quote:

However, I understand if this is not the best thing to do

Sin embargo, comprendería si ésta no es la mejor forma de hacerlo.

Great translation, olgamar.
