Please remember - don't call Taneer to pick you up at the airport. You have to call me or send me an email about your arrival time and I will come [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] to the airport to pick you up.

See above.

I am confused about one thing - you say "I am in touch with all of our friends" but then say "I have not met them personally". How can they be your friends if you have never met them? Do you mean that you haven't met up with them recently?

I am keep in touch with them via e-mail and telephone and I have not met them personally since a long time. Because they live in different cities. By the way thanks for your assisance.

The way you had written it, it appears that you have never met them personally. You should say that you have not met them for a long time.

To make it right you should use "seen" instead of "met". If you have never met them, you don't know them. Thus, the sentence becomes;

I have not seen them in person since a long time.
or better;

It's been a long time since I have had the chance to see my friends in person.

Dear teacher,

I keep in touch with them.
I am in touch with them.

Are the above sentences are correct or not ? Please tell me why

I agree that "seen" is an improvement on "met". I would also suggest "I have not met up with them for a long time".

We usually use "I am in touch with them" on its own, but "I keep in touch with them" followed by the method of communication.

I keep in touch with them by phone and email.
