Yeah, I'm a first year student so some of my constructs will definitely sound harsh, given the tools I have available.

For the second sentence, I just feel like kuremasen would imply something like "He didn't write a letter of recommendation" as opposed to something like "I can't get him to write one."  Is that wrong?  We just learned potential form so I feel like he's trying to stuff it in as much as possible.

And since that's explaining why the speaker can't go, would that not need ndesu?
