grammar
Try to proofread your work for grammatical errors and correct punctuation use. For example, 'caughtup' should be 'catch up', and 'and soon' should be replaced with 'and so on'.

Organize your ideas more clearly into separate paragraphs: one for congratulating, one for the accommodation proposal, and one for possible activities.

You covered all the points in the task prompt very well, addressing each one specifically.
writing tone
The tone of the letter is friendly and appropriate for writing to a friend.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
