Well, aside from three spelling mistakes and no period at the end of the last sentence, I don't see any mistakes.

"daer friend

It should look like this;

Dear Friend,
How are you? Hope you are enjoying your stay at home. When are you coming back? I miss you so much! Please write to me. I have wasted one week without studing a word. Anyway, I have four more weeks to go. Take care.

Oops. Even native speakers can mess up sometimes.

Hi Corey & Baka,

Muni posts in here from time to time. As her/his English is at a very high level, she/he doesn't strike me as a student looking for a shortcut.

Just my two cents.
