Friend is Asking for Advice

It might be easier to take a copy of the submission, put it in MS Word or RTF format, and attach it to a message.  Then we can download it from here, instead of going to this other site.

Well, my friend has been pestering me to read over his work and help him out with his writing, but the problem is, I'm not so great at writing myself. I've told him that he needs to ask his teacher or join a forum such as this, but he refuses to because he's very shy. Anyway, he wanted to prove something of himself and entered a contest, but now he's regretting not asking anyone to proofread what he had to say. It's too late for him to change anything, but he wants to know if he can find out what mistakes he made so he can work on them later. Anyway, I don't want to copy/paste it here because it's a tad long and doing so would cause a few formatting errors. Anyway, I'm just hoping that you all understand that this is voluntary and that I'm not trying to force anyone to do this. (I just don't want to come back to a slew of angry comments) Anyway, it's at bladerunnercontest.com and it's under the name Joe Eibert. (If people really don't want to go there, then I'll just copy/paste it in here and fix the formatting errors myself) Anyway, I'd just like to remind everyone that it's totally voluntary and any constructive criticism is welcome (no matter how blunt it is).
