The letter effectively addresses all tasks with clear and appropriate language, maintaining a semi-formal tone. While the vocabulary is varied, further enhancement could be achieved by incorporating more sophisticated expressions. The logical flow is generally smooth, though minor improvements in transitions could enhance coherence.

Dear Hannah,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I'm
truly grateful for the invitation to come and visit you in Melbourne. I actually have been thinking of spending time with you and catching up over coffee.
As you know, I just started my career in Finance early this year. My work-life has been very hectic these past months, considering we are nearing the end of the financial year. Starting next week, my boss expects me to come to the office every business day from 9 a.m. to 5p.m., and she will not approve any annual leave until the financial year chaos is over. So,
I'm
gutted to say that I will not be able to fly to Melbourne next month to see you.
I know this is heartbreaking, but I can ask for a week off some time in August. Maybe the end of August? I think by then, the snow in Mount Buller would be perfect for a fun ski time.
I am so sorry once again for disappointing you.
Let me know
what date suits you best. I hope we can meet soon.
Love,
Michelle
