Thank you so much for your tip Caliette :) You are totally right! Sometimes it seems like I'm using a formal language but that's not my final objetive. I should improve that to distinguish between the different styles in order to have a better mark in the exam.

I'm preparing for the CAE exam too and I think your letter is too formal. I don't think you talk to your friends this way :) It's good to write it as if you were talking to your best friend. For example this: If you've any other question, don’t hesitate to ask me for them. I’m here to help you! could be replaced by: If there's something more you'd like to try let me know! I hope we're going to have a wonderful time together and I'm looking forward to seeing you!
