Dear friend,
How are you? Sorry for taking ages to get back to you, but I had to study hard. By the way, have you received the email from the sport club about us running out of aerobics classes? I can't tell you how annoyed I am about this issue. What's more, we won't get our money back. I think they should refund us, don't you? Anyway, I should get going.
Best wishes,
Sergio

Dear fFriend,

How are you?

Sorry for taking ages to get back to you, but I had to study hard.

By the way, have you received the email from the sports club about us running out of aerobics classes to take?

This makes the problem clearer.

I can't tell you how annoyed I am about this issue.

This sounds more natural.

What's more, we won't get our money back.

or,

What's more is that we won't get our money back.

I think they should refund us, don't you?

Anyway, I should get going.

Best wishes,

Sergio

A million thanks!

Sorry for taking ages to get back to you, but I had to studya lot of studying to do. OR: ... but I was studying hard.

Para mi, "I had to study hard" necesita la meta por la que _tuviste que_ estudiar.

Como, "I had to study hard **for the exam**," "He spent a lot of time studying for that test, didn't he? Yes, he really had to study hard [**for it**]".

Aquí, estás diciendo que no pudiste contestar a tu amigo por que estabas estudiando. "I was studying hard/had a lot of studying to do" as la razón por la que no le pudiste contestar.

Creo que en español sería lo mismo:

"Lamento no haber contestarte, pero estaba estudiando" - ok, creo :-)
"Lamento no haber contestarte, pero tuve que estudiar duramente" -- para mi, no suena natural, falta algo .... pero no soy nativo :-P

I hope everything I said makes sense. It's a very small point!

By the way, have you received the email from the sports club about us running out of aerobics classes?

"sports" normalmente es plural. "I like sports". "The sports club." "The store for sports." :-)
