Ashad,

There is no easy way. Read a lot and write a lot.

If you need to write for your job, try to find good sample letters that you can pattern your letters after.

Writing in a foreign language takes time, practice, and patience.

Sorry that there is no easy answer for you.

Dear MountainHiker,

Thanks for your advice; I am trying to spend more time for practicing (read, write and listen) as you advised me. However, I am expecting from you some guidelines on systematic learning that makes me perfect in the English language.

Thanks & regards,
Ashad

Fine work, Ashad. Here is how I might re-write some of it:

"Dear (name),

I hope you are doing well. I am so-so.

It has been a long time since we have written, so you don’t know what kind of life I have been leading lately. As you know, the job situation is still a big problem in our country, and I am unable to find decent employment. Day by day our living expenses increase, but salaries do not. In this situation I am also a burden on my family's expenses.

Do you have any ideas as to what can I do to improve my situation? I would be grateful for any advice you could offer me.

Thanks and best regards,
Ashad "

You might want to add more personal 'chat' about your daily life, and also send greetings and best wishes to your friend's family.

Mister Micawber
