Response:
Dear Andy,
I hope this letter finds you in best of health. After having a week’s pleasant stay at your place in Australia, yesterday I reached safely in India.
I am writing this letter to inform you regarding a very important file which I left there. I am very much sure that the file would still be on the table inside the room where I stayed for a week. As you might recall, this is the same file, which we carried along with us in the business seminar. Moreover, it also contains few very critical documents pertaining to my new venture. Thus, it is very necessary for me to get it back as soon as possible. I would be very much pleased if you can make some arrangements to send it back at my mailing address via speed post. I hope you can make mail it back at my mailing address without much of bothering. This favor would be highly appreciated.
As already committed by you, I would be waiting for your visit at my hometown. I hope we meet again very soon, and this time in India, so that I can personally thank you for your help in this regard. Looking forward to hearing from you again
Warm Regards,
ABC

Hello!
Overall, quite a good letter. The description of the file is a little vague, but all points have been covered. You do attempt some complex structures, but there are quite a lot of mistakes in the letter. However, there are some issues with vocabulary, especially ...
express post, not speed
make some arrangements? You mean, post it?
much bother, not much of bothering
As already committed by you???
So, plenty of work needed on the language side.
All the best,
David
