From King Xerxes To his Son

A letter I wrote as king Xerxes to his son while they were fighting against Sparta

Dear son,

 

It is I, your father, King Xerxes. I have been leading our Persian army against the Spartans.
I must tell you it is difficult having to to lead the army. I must make hard decisions, knowing
that no matter what, we will lose many men.They will trust and follow my orders hoping for the best.
I have managed to change the outcome of things, my spy found a route. My army will be able to attack
from behind as well, leading us to victory.If it had not been found we might have lost this battle
to Leonidas and the Spartans.Do not worry though, our victory is coming shortly. We will rid ourselfs
of the Spartan army and have our pass open. I will see you soon enough.
         

            Sincerly,
                         Your Father King Xerxes

How was this? It was HW so I don't know if it makes sense

Well, your writing is technically correct, but there's not really much merit here - it's bland, boring, and probably not something you wanted to write in the first place. The writing style is a little formal, but I think that suits the character writing.

I was sorta going for something formal and I really did enjoy and want to write as him and look from his point of view but, thanks for the review I will try to make it more interesting.
