Cool My exercises to get a job

Hello everyone !

I am a French man who got an exercise in english and the goal is to find the mistakes. I red the text many times and to me the text is good writing with some faults. I found some of them and underlined but if you're not agree with me, please make a correction about vocabulary and grammar !

Thanks to everyone who care about my problem because it's an exercise for a job, a test to value my english. Excuse my french !

TEST

My name is Captain Olimar, and I just got back from the
vorst vacation in the story of the universe! While travelling
across the vast galaxy, my belove spacecraft is hit by
an asteroid and I was forced to crash-land on an uncharted,
backwater planet! My ship was pulverized into dozens of pices
that are scattered across the landscape!
Thankfuly, with the help of loyal and ferocious alien creatures
I named Pikmin, I was able to find and kollectall of the ship’s
components and repair it.
After a long space trek back, I am overjoyed to finally touch
down on my home world at the Hocotate Freight offices.
I had no idea of the terrible news that awaited me there...
Though the history of Hocotate Freight is long
and illustrious, it has never before faced a threat of
this magnitude! As it’s esteemed president, it is my
responsibility to ensure profitability, but can I be faulted
for sending young Louie alone on an important deliveri?
My veteran employee, Olimar, had on vacation... and
though Louie is inexperienced, he seemed competent
enogh...
When Louie told me the tragic tale of how a space bunny
attacked his ship and devoured his precious cargo
of Pikpik carots, I nearly keeled over! To pay for the loss,
Hocotate Freight had to take out a loan of spirit
crushing proportions! We sold Olimar’s belove ship in
his absence.
I was sure we were dumeed until Olimar miraculously
returned! When I told him about the fate of his ship,
he drop the curious souvenir he was holding. The old
ship’s sensors went wild! It scanned Olimar’s souvenir
and appraised it at an astounding 100 Pokos! The alien
planet must be full of the staff!
Olimar, you and Louie must returm immediately and
recover as many treasures as you could to repay the debt
and save Hocotate Freight!

Hello Doucement,

Good job!

Here are the only mistakes you missed :

- I am overjoyed (it should be was)
- faulted for sending is correct
- carots (it should be carrots)
- he drop (it should be dropped)
