Hi Joe, How are you doing? You won't believe what I'm going to say! Actually I ‘will be in Kurt city next week and I intend to visit our previous workplace in order to see old colleagues that we were working together one day. First of All, I should say I have changed my job and I 'm currently working as a pilot in the aviation industry which I really was fond of if you remember. Even though it's really a demanding and irregular job in terms of working hours, I earn enough money and I have a reasonable work-life balance

task achievement
Make sure to address all the bullet points in the task effectively. Your letter briefly touches upon all the required points but can expand more on the details of your visit and how you plan to meet. Adding more specific information, such as activities you hope to do together, could help improve your task response.
coherence cohesion
Your letter has a clear structure with a greeting, body paragraphs, and closing, which is very good. However, transitioning smoothly between ideas, perhaps by using more cohesive devices, would enhance your letter's flow. For example, instead of jumping straight into details about your job change, you might connect it more clearly to the context of your visit.
coherence cohesion
Maintain a consistent tone throughout your letter. The tone you've chosen is appropriately informal for writing to a friend. Yet, making sure the tone is consistent, and using phrases that match this informal tone throughout can help in making your letter more cohesive and engaging.
