"Just to + verb" - Is is correct?

0Hi,02br
02br
00I've got a quick question. Is it correct to say or write "Just to + verb"? 02br
02br
00For example, "Hi Peter, I'm in Hong Kong this week & I'm passing by your office. Just to say "Hi"..."02br
02br
00I think the correct way of saying that is "Just wanna/want to say Hi", isn't it?02br
02br
00Could someone help me with this?02br
02br
00Thanks.02br

0Hi Clive,02br
02br
00Thanks for your explanations. It's now clear to me.02br
02br
00And, I think it's very kind of you to highlight your corrections in pink, which properly draws my attention to the mistakes I didn't expect. That helps a lot.02br
