A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you're on Holiday. Write a letter to your friend.In your letter :

give contact Details for when you're away
give instructions about how to care for your pet.
describe other household duties.

Dear Ian,
I'm greatly appreciate that you have agreed to help me. I will be leaving on 2nd. Juli, which means a week more from now. My staying in the south of the Country lasts for five days.We can always Keep in touch by using my mobile number in case of emergency.

First, as you know that my dog, Pooh, is sick. He Needs to take medicine once a day after eating lunch. His medicine solubles in water, so this is a very easy mission for you.There is one important thing you must remember, that Pooh only eats and Drinks water from his own bowls, which have Pictures of Winnie the Pooh on them. Moreover, he eats three times a day: breakfast before 9 am, lunch at 12 am and dinner after 6 pm. I have bought enough pet Food for one week, so you just have to pour it onto the bowl for Pooh. Second, Pooh is a trained dog. He knows where his bog is when he Needs to micturate. Then his bog must be cleaned. Last of all, when you go out for a walk or to Drugstores nearby,take him with you. He also needs to excercise.

Now on the household duties. All of the chores have been done. Only when you stay here, you have to Keep it neat. If possible, please don't invite your friends to come over and stay overnight. Otherwise there would be complains from my neighbors about loud noises Problems.

In Brief, I am thankful for your kindness. If there wasn't you, I wouldn't know who to ask for help. Please let me know if you have questions about anything. One last thing: Can you come over this Weekend in order to get to know Pooh and to take the house's key?

Love you
Anh Truong

... this is grammatically wrong;
I am appreciating / I appreciate.... however, in this case "I appreciate" is better.
I greatly appreciate that you agreed to look after my house and pet while I am away.

I will be leaving on the2nd. Juli, which means a week more from now.

2nd. Juli - 2nd July (July is the English term for Juli)

My staying in the south of the Country lasts for five days.

.... I think you need to use a more simpler tone for this letter;
I will be travelling in the South and returning home after five days.

We can always Keep in touch by using my mobile number in case of emergency.

... give your number to him.

this just does not sound right. maybe try saying " i wouldn't know who to ask if it wasn't for you"
