The letter effectively communicates the retirement plans and invitation, but contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The structure is logical, but coherence could be improved with smoother transitions. Vocabulary is varied but could be more precise.

Dear Joe
I hope you and your family are all well! I am keen to meet you since the last trip we went to the United Kingdom which was wonderful. It felt great to meet you and Simon after we graduated. You two have always been dear friends to me, and always will be!
Anyway, I am writing this letter to let you know I am planning to retire after the first week of September because at that time I will have a 24
year
of experience in this company.
After my retirement, I think a journey with some
oldfriends
from high school will be a brilliant idea. After that, my wife
suggest
me to have a pet, I prefer a dog, you know I am definitely a dog person.
Before
traveling
to our
memmory
place, I want to invite you to my retirement party, which will be on September 10th. Simon and our other high school friends will also be invited, so we can discuss the trip when we are
having the dinner
!
If you have any question about anything, please feel free to contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you soon
!
Best wishes,
Oliver
