My suggestion to write it in a better way

Quote:
1. but then i tought i can



but then, I thought I could

Quote:
2. Till now she has not been able to reach those documents to me.



Still she is unable to send those documents to me

What is the exact meaning of this sentence?
"I have been advised that you will be my friend. "

1. A person advice me to choose you as my friend.
2. I chose you to be for myself as a friend.
Or anything else?

I think the 1 is correct because sentence sounds passive. If so, for making the sentence to active state is it correct to say “I advised you will be my friend” ?

I think He/She has advised me to choose you as my friend is better than yours. Anyway, I don't think using present perfect tense here seems not really good.

"I have been advised that you will be my friend" =
Someone else has told me that you will be my friend.

"I have been advised that you would be a good friend." =
Someone else has told me that you would be a good friend for me to choose.

Advice always comes from someone else. You cannot advise yourself.

"I choose you as my friend." =
I have chosen you as a friend myself.

Sorry I'm late! My answer wasn't very clear because of lacking some punctuation.
However, I can't make it MORE CLEAR.
Anyway, Mr. ...(his name is too long for me to remember by now) has given such useful advice to you.
