Can you read this letter and tell me my level of English? :)
Hi Chris,
thanks for your email. I'm over the moon at the idea of spending a whole week with you.
As to the possibility of putting off your arrival, I think it'd be even better since I've been invited to a wedding party on the first Friday of August. This would mean that I'd be away all day long. Therefore, if you could come the week after, it'd be ideal.
As for what I think you'll like about my country I believe that you'll really appreciate firstly the sunny weather and the peaceful sea and its relaxing, almost surreal, sound. Secondly, I'm pretty sure you'll like to go sightseeing and visiting the castle, knowing that you are very keen on History. We could also pick out among the many sports we both like playing: what about playing tennis? Not far away from my house, there's a professional tennis court. We could go there. You needn't bring the racket as I have many.
As far as clothes are concerned, I think you'd better bring light ones on account of the high temperature (T-shirts, some pairs of shorts and don't forget the swimming trunks!).
By the way, I live quite far away from the airport but don't be worry because you won't have any difficulty getting to the bus station. You have to go out of the airport through the main exit; you'll see a restaurant at the corner of the street, turn right and from now on go straight on. After a 15-minute walk, you'll arrive at the bus station. Get on the bus 13. It'll take you directly to where I live. I'll be waiting for you at the bus stop in front of my house.
I look forward to seeing you!
All the best
Cristiana

Thank you Alex!! Can you suggest another saying similar to "over the moon"?

Great writing! You use a number of idiomatic expressions here, which makes me think you write at last at a high intermediate/advanced level.
Just a few suggestions:
'over the moon' is an outdated saying, and no one says this anymore.
Needn't bring -- this is a bit formal, and 'don't bring' is better
don't be worry -- should be either 'don't worry' or 'don't be worried', though don't worry is preferable.
Hope that helps!
