This is a letter and goes like this...
"Thank you for your invitation that I have received today. I enjoy myself and accept the invitation, but I'm afraid because I don't know very well the people who are invited to the party. I would like to know if I have the possibility of bringing a friend, he is very kindly, charming boy. I know him since ten years. My problem is that I don't know if I must put on a dress could you tell me? At what time the party starts? Please not too late because I must come on feet and the party is so far the house. I'm looking forward to see you Saturday night."
I'm not sure if I've spotted the mistakes properly. THANK YOU!

"Thank you for the invitation that I received today. I hope to enjoy myself and graciously accept the invitation, but I'm afraid I don't know the people who are invited to the party very well. I would like to know if I could possibily bring a friend? He is a very kind and charming boy. I have known him for ten years. My problem is that I don't know if I must put on a dress. Could you tell me if I need to? At what time does the party start? I hope it is not too late because I must walk and the party is so far from my house. I'm looking forward to see you Saturday night!"

It makes sense but here is a better version:
Thank you for the invitation; i received it today. I'm happy to accept the invitation, but I'm afraid because I don't know the people that you invited to the party. Could I bring a friend, he's a very kind and charming boy. I've known him for 10 years. The problem is I don't know if I should wear a dress or is casual wear alright.
What time does the party start? I hope it's not too late , because I must walk from the house and it's a long walk. I'm looking forward to seeing you Saturday night. Thank you,

Spooky did a very good job on this, but I would make more changes:
"My problem is that I don't know if I should wear a dress. Could you tell me if I need to? At what time does the party start? I hope it is not too late because I must walk and the party is quite far from my house. I'm looking forward to seeing you Saturday night!"

This version I'm writing below will flow better and sound more natural. Your grammar is correct, it just sounds a little awkward to the native ear and somewhat difficult to understand. Try this:
I received your invitation today. Thank you! I'd love to come. I do have a couple questions though.
I'm somewhat nervous because I don't know too many people who will be attending the party. Is there any possibility I could bring a good friend of mine? He's a wonderful man, and I've known him since I was 10 years old.
Additionally, I'm wondering what would be appropriate to wear. I was thinking of wearing a dress, is that a good idea?
One more question! What time does the party start exactly? I will be walking to your home and my house is quite far, so I need to plan accordingly.
I can't wait to see you, and thank you again for inviting me.

She will prepare a payment listing which she will send to her manager for approval. Notice the second "she". There's several other ways to construct the sentence proplerly, but the omission of the subject (she) in the independent clause following "which" is a significant mistake.

I'd go with spooky, there are a few changes I'd make but overall that one is the best.
