Answer #1

I think you are being mature anf polite! I wouldnt change anything at all in that little note. If you want to though you can say something like “I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!” Or anything that adds the im interested effect on her.

Answer #2

I think the message is polite, but it seemed kind of confusing at the part where you mentioned your grandfather and her aunt. I probably would have worded it differently. Would have said something similar to the following:

“Hi there. My name is Fito, and I’m one of your distant cousins. My grandfather, Billy, and your Aunt Heather were cousins and very good friends. The reason I’m contacting you is because I, too, would really like to be your friend and get to know you. If you’d like to get to know me too, please send me a message back. I really hope to hear from you!

Take care, Fito.”
