greeting and closing
Make sure you use clear and appropriate greetings and sign-offs in your letters. 'Dear All,' may be too informal, and 'Ever loving,' is not a common closing. Use 'Dear [Friends' Names]' and 'Best regards,' or 'Yours sincerely,' instead.
logical structure
The body of your letter should have a logical flow, with each paragraph focusing on a single main idea. Use linking words effectively to connect your ideas.
single idea per paragraph
Each paragraph should focus on a single idea. You've done this well, but make sure your explanations are fully expanded and clear.
complete response
Your letter should respond completely to all tasks. Make sure to clearly thank the friends for the holiday and explain your delayed response. Your invitation is a nice touch, but be specific about when they could visit.
suitable writing tone
Maintain a writing tone that reflects the purpose of your letter. This is an informal letter to friends, so the tone can be friendly and personal, but should remain respectful and clear.

The Closing

The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.

Check out the suggested closing sentences for each type of letter in the General IELTS Test. The closing sentence should be the last sentence of your letter.
