Besides the possibility that the mistakes were made deliberately, like other comments said, I can totally see how these two mistakes slipped through. > He was also lucky that I didn’t care that he’d missed a “the” in We need your assistance in evaluating several projects for Adam Smith Prize. Slavic languages, like Russian, don't have articles. In my experience the proper use of definite and indefinite articles is the most typical error native Slavic language speakers make. > Apparently I further didn’t care that he’d unnecessarily capitalized the word Organizers in Adam Smith Prize Organizers, or that he didn’t seem to understand that a paragraph can contain more than a single sentence. German capitalizes all nouns and German and English have plenty of nouns that are close enough that it's hard not get confused. Add to that all the exceptions where you do capitalize words in English, this is a hard problem for Germans. My armchair linguists bet is that the mail was written by a German with Slavic roots.
