I need this translated please(my version would be very rough):

Dear Aunt Stenia:
My father was your husband Jerzy's older brother Reinhold.
We've never met. During my 7 years in Poland Uncle Jerzy never invited me to your house; I was too shy to invite myself.
I'm returning to Poland for a visit after 25 years this September. I would like to finally meet you and your two sons, my cousins. I have some photos of Irek with my father.
My mailing address is:
My e-mail is:
Please give me your sons' addresses(I've asked Piotr several times but he never answered me).
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Your nephew

Thanks in advance

Witaj droga Ciociu,

Jestem synem Reinholda, starszego brata twojego męża Jerzego.
Nigdy się nie spotkaliśmy. Przez ten czas kiedy 7 lat studiowałem w Polsce, twój mąż nigdy mnie do was nie zaprosił, a mi zabrakło śmiałości, żeby zaprosić was do siebie. Teraz po 25 latach po raz pierwszy będę z powrotem w Polsce. Przyjeżdżam z wizytą we wrześniu. Chciałbym was w końcu poznać, Ciebie i moich kuzynów. Jedyne co mam to parę zdjęć Irka z moim tatą.

Mój adres pocztowy:
Mój e-mail:

Chciałbym jeszcze Ciociu prosić o adresy kuzynów. Prosiłem parę razy Piotra, ale nigdy na moje prośby nie odpowiedział.
Odezwijcie się, proszę.

Wasz siostrzeniec i kuzyn ...

I think he meant here: "żeby się sam do Was wprosić"

I do not know how old his aunt is, but she might be more used to a formal, third person addressing, as in:
"twój mąż" -> "mąż Cioci"

And also, I would change:
"Witaj Droga Ciociu,"

into
"Droga Ciociu:"

yes, you are perfectly right about that

boletus:

and you are most probably right in this case too - my English is far from perfect

rybnik - you should definitely make use of boleutus' remarks

Did you study in Poland?

a mi zabrakło śmiałości, żeby zaprosić was do siebie.

I would say: "Nie śmiałem się wpraszać"
