Here is one last URGENT request! Much apologies for asking..
A kid from school wrote in a letter to a pen-friend:
We had been mailing to each other for several times after your leaving to America. However, we had lost contact after you had become busy with your examinations. Not long after, I lost your address and did not hear from you either.
Would anyone be able to correct the above confusing passage? A billion thanks for helping! URGENT T_T
We had mailed each other several times after you left for America. However, we lost touch because you were so busy with your exams. Not long after that, I lost your address and could not contact you, and didn't hear from you either.

HTH
That last clause seems to want an I. Other than that, that's perfect.
