Every time I write an eamil to you, I intend to ask...

Hi

Could you please tell me if these lines sound natural, especially the yellow parts? Any suggestions are welcome.

Every time I write an email to you, I intend to ask you about whether or not you will visit London this summer, but then forget and forward the email.



Thanks,



Tom
