I believe we will be friends - letter about me to my future roommate

As part of the university application process, I am required to write a note to my future roommate and this is what I have written. Please, I just need a second opinion on the note. Thank you.

Dear roommate,
As sensitive as I am, I envisaged the fact that we will become friends right from the first day we meet each other. So I find it totally germane to create a picture of my personality to you before we get into our domestic relationship.

The first thing I want you to know about me is that, I don't have a favorite of the people I have ever known and have been friends with. They are all different personalities with different backgrounds, and I love them all. This means that no matter where you came from or who you are, I am ready to share a room and anything else with you.

Also, I was considered one of the most friendly students in high school, but I am also very challenging. I hate being judgmental, but I love to hangout with someone I can share my secrets with. Someone who is decorous.

Finally, sports and Music are my favorite pastimes. I like sports such as Soccer and basketball. In terms of music, RnB is my favorite. I am, however, totally okay with any sort of music you like. I will also make room for anything that interests you; even if I am not totally into it.

In conclusion, I want to say that friendship is about getting to know one another more competently, which I believe we will.
See you soon, pal.
Your Future Roommate, Benjamin Newton.
P.S: We will have a lot of fun together.

I think the note is wonderfully written, and that it illustrates your point clearly. I am concerned, however, with the shifts your in tone. It seems that your diction keeps swaying between being completely formal and completely casual. Other than that, I think your note is perfect.

Your note to your roommate should be less formal and more welcoming. In the letters like these that I have assisted other students in writing before, an emphasis was always placed on the way that the two of you should have open communication and always be meeting to meet each other halfway, even when you do not agree with your roommate. One of the important aspects of this letter should be a promise from you to work with your roommate in order to have a cordial and friendly relationship, reminding your roommate that you also expect the same from him or her.

It is important that the note detail the kind of eccentricities you may have as a person so as to forewarn your future roommate about any behaviors or traits that he or she may find odd. Explain why you do certain things beforehand, that includes letting your room mate know of any potential allergies you might have so that he or she can deal with it in case of an emergency.

Don't forget to let your roommate know about your pet peeves and the hard "no's" or non negotiable things while living with each other. You know, things like, "don't take my food from the fridge without letting me know first." and the like.

Let your roommate know that you are open to having new adventures with him or her. Signify and intention to be the sibling that the person never had as a sign of the kind of close relationship that you wish to have with him or her. Be willing to introduce your world and customs to him or her if he or she finds it of interest. Then explain that you would also be willing to learn more about your person as the semester progresses in whatever way he or she may want to bond with you. In the end remind your roommate that you will both have to make big adjustments and that your lives together might be rocky due to your differences as individuals. Recognize the fact that the two of you will have to live with each other all semester long so the least that the two of you can do is learn how to get along with each other.

By laying out these guidelines, the system might be able to pair you up with a roommate that is most compatible with you.
