An informal letter. In reply to a friend's email Hey Sam! Thanks for your email. I’m glad to hear that all our classmates will be able to come to the party. I’m sure we’ll have a nice time. Firsty, I’m happy to tell you that I know some guys who could be invited for the occasion. They are young, energetic and cool, though not so popular. And it won’t cost that much for us. By the way, I called Mike and he will organise food for the party. His uncle is the owner of some local restaurant and they are glad to offer a great discount for meals. I also thought through your idea about making it a fancy dress party. I think we need to set the theme of it. How about a mexican style? Isn’t that great? Let me know if you need anything else. Best, Egor

Hey Sam!

Thanks for your email. I’m glad to hear that all our classmates will be able to come to the party. I’m sure we’ll have a nice time.

Firstly, I’m happy to tell you that I know some guys who could be invited for to the occasion. They are young, energetic and cool, though not so popular. And it won’t cost that much for us. The meaning of this part of the message is a little unclear. When you say 'not so popular' it suggests that people don't really like these guys. When you say 'And it won't cost that much for us' I would guess you are trying to say 'Inviting them won't cost us anything.'

By the way, I called Mike and he will organise food for the party. His uncle is the owner of some a local restaurant and they are glad to offer a great discount for meals. (You could say 'some', people often speak like that although it's not technically correct. 'a' is better though.)

I also thought through your idea about making it a fancy dress party. I think we need to set the theme of it. How about a mexican style? Isn’t that great?

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best,

Overall, this is a really excellent use of English. Apart from one line the meaning is clear and the grammar is really great. Great job!
