Am I forgeting my English?
I'm a British native but haven't spent any time in an English speaking country for more than six years. Recently, in an email to a friend I wrote the sentence attached below and he says it shows I am forgetting how to speak English. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

I think your sentence is quite literate, and only suffers from minor punctuation problems. I suggest:
