I would like to know if there is any difference between :
I look forward to seeing him sometime / I look forward to meeting him sometime.
And another doubt. When someone says;
thanks for the invitation, I would like to come to Brasil.It may take a while though. I am working on a project which will lead me to another country. But one day.
By saying it may take a while thouh sounds like a polite refusal ?
[1] I look forward to seeing him when I meet him.
[2] I look forward to meeting him.
[3] He's being honest with you. He wants to go to Brasil one day, but not right now; he can't go, even if he wanted to; he is busy with work right now. The project he is working on requires that he travel to another country. He might be away for a year or so, or less.

Does that help?
thank you so much for answerig me ! well, hehhehehe in the same email he wrote: "lets keep our correspondence solely by email." My doubt is: correspondence is written letters so i guess as i was told tht the sentence would be better structured as lets keep our correspondence solely to emails or let´s correspond lolely to emails. The funny is that a linguist wrote the sentence and for this reason i thought that it could have another meaning. like correspondence meaning reciprocity ( of feelings ) maybe ?
I agree with Anglika's advice. Correspondence means communication by exchange of letters--an email is a virtual letter. Furthermore, solely by email, as opposed to sending/writing email and writing letters, both.
