In the context of the book, the first sentence is more correct as books can be more formal that normal conversation.

Hi. Koir, thanks.
I have a question.
Do you imply a specific individual or group when you say someone?
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
