What is wrong with this Sharepoint workflow XML? - sharepoint

Question

I am programmatically starting a workflow by calling workflowManager.StartWorkflow and passing it the XML for workflow below. The workflow just errors and fails. The workflow I am using is the OOTB Approval workflow. Is the structure for my XML incorrect?

The XML was invalid for the approval workflow. The correct XML is below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
