You have just returned from a long holiday. While you were away, your friend looked after your house. Write a letter to you friend. In your letter - thank you friend for the things she/he did for you - offer to reimburse any money she/he spent on doing these things - arrange to meet your friend for a coffee late this week.

Dear Guri, I hope
this
letter finds you healthy and happy as always. I am writing
this
letter to tell you that I am very thankful for taking care of my house in my absence.
Firstly
, When I was planning to go on a holiday with my family, I was worried about my house and who would take care of it. But when I talked with you about my situation , I was relaxed and enjoyed my trip. I had a great
time
there and did a lot of fun activities.
Moreover
, when I came back from vacation after two weeks, I felt astonished after seeing my house as it was well maintained and clean as we left it. I have no words to be thankful for looking after my place.
Also
, you spent your precious
time
on
this
work as you are a busy and working person and you took
time
for my work too. I will be ready to pay you the compensation for that as much as you want.
Furthermore
, I am thinking of meeting you for a coffee
this
weekend and spending some
time
together. It will be a treat from my side to you for being helpful.
However
, I would like to meet you
this
weekend at Starbucks at 4:00 pm. So, if you are free, please send me a response about the coffee party. I am very grateful to you and I am looking forward to your answer. Your Friend, Daman

Try to make your sentences more concise to improve clarity. For example, instead of 'Firstly, When I was planning to go on a holiday with my family, I was worried about my house and who would take care of it. But when I talked with you about my situation , I was relaxed and enjoyed my trip,' you could write, 'Initially, I was worried about leaving my house during my family holiday, but talking to you put me at ease, allowing me to enjoy the trip.'

Be careful with punctuation and capitalization. For instance, 'Firstly, When' should be 'Firstly, when' and '...about my situation , I was relaxed...' should be '...about my situation, I was relaxed...'.
