As an American not personally connected to the event but saddened by it, I thank you for your support.

Also, your English is quite good, but as you know, you can still improve. If you want me to suggest corrections, you can say so.

"I'm French and I (capitalize the personal pronoun) don't want to use Google Translate (this is the official name for the site, so most people call it that), (you can add in "so" right here if you want - I think it makes the sentence flow a bit better) please try to be understanding toward me if I (again, capitalize the personal pronoun) make too many (Mistakes are discrete things, unlike say, sunlight. You use "much" for non-discrete things. For example, I can say "There is too much sunlight!" but I can't say "There is too many sunlight!" because sunlight isn't discrete; it can't be separated into entities. Mistakes are discrete because they can be separated, so they use "many" as opposed to much. Many = discrete, much = non-discrete) mistakes. (Overall, your first sentence is quite grammatically solid, just try to remember to capitalize your personal pronouns and remember how to correctly use "many" and "much".) I want to convey my deepest condolences to the families of the victims (I completely restructured this sentence, because your use of "It's" is somewhat ambiguous and you want to convey your condolences, so that's why it's good to use I. I put "deepest condolences" before "families of the victims" because that it is an essential part of your sentence (the object) and it distracts the reader to read the prepositional phrase "to the families of the victims" and then read the object and piece the two things together. It flows slightly better, but this is a stylistic thing and not extremely important. Also, I added in "the" because it emphasizes more that these were the victims of the tragedy.) and tell them to stay strong and united**;** (Semicolon because your next sentence is an independent clause) don't let the hate win. Message of support from ("the" doesn't belong here. France is a name, and names do not require articles. You could say "Message of support from the French." though and that would also work and not change the meaning dramatically.) France."

You're good at writing English (the errors you made were minor and didn't detract much from the thoughts), but I hope this helps you improve even more!

Thanks very much, it really helps me to understand what I should have wrote in that case to being more accurate to convey my message.

Thanks for the message of support and keeping "prayers" out of your gesture
