Error at line 2, column 1: junk after document element XML issue

Hey my understanding of XML is pretty much non-existent. I am trying to fix it so I am able to open it in Autodesk3DMax and edit the mesh. I keep getting the error 'Error at line 2, column 1: junk after document element'. If anyone could help me fix the code, or explain to me as simply as possible what is wrong I would be really grateful.

What I have tried:

The code is:

<MESH NUMSUBMESH="1"><SUBMESH NUMVERTICES="829" NUMFACES="859" NUMLODSTEPS="0" NUMSPRINGS="0" NUMMORPHS="0" NUMTEXCOORDS="1" MATERIAL="-2">
<VERTEX NUMINFLUENCES="1" ID="0">
<pos>51.6886 2.03197 1011.29
<norm>0.727597 0.395241 -0.560703
<color>0 0 0
<texcoord>0.231275 0.813344
<INFLUENCE ID="22">1
....
<FACE VERTEXID="662 827 825" />
<FACE VERTEXID="662 825 828" />
<FACE VERTEXID="646 662 828" />
</SUBMESH>
</MESH>

Looking at the XML above, you are missing closing tags.

What are the closing tags <MESH NUMSUBMESH="1" />?

Unless you know the XML format for 3DMax, we have no idea what it's considering "junk".

Looking at your XML nicly formatted always can help. Using a XML viewer tool even better...
You XML is full of problems of formatting - the question where it come from?
