How nice of you to reach out to me. I'd also love to have someone to practice English with. I'm pretty bad at writing, so I think it'll pretty cool to have someone to practice with.
Best wishes

Formal letter
Dear Mr Hogarth ,
Thank you for your letter concerning the eating practices of some of our staff. While it is not company policy to reprimand employees about their diets, we strongly feel that in this case such a conversation may be warranted. The eating of so called 'toasties' with mayonaise does not align with our company values.
I can assure you that we will do everything in our power to solve this issue. I trust that the steps we are taking will prove satisfactory.
Sincerely,
Joseph H. Mugglesworth
