Javier,
Hey, bud. It's great to hear from you and even better to find you you're doing well. We just got off vacation in the islands, and it was awesome. I'm sunburned, tired, and a little sorry that it's over. You didn't mention what you did this summer. Anyway, when I was snorkeling we saw some hammerhead sharks. It freaked me out at first, but they were little and pretty much left us alone. You really need to get out there some time. It would've been fun if you could have come, too. I have to get going, I still have a billion things to take care of. Hit me back soon.

What does this letter do wrong?
It is too informal.
It is unnecessarily apologetic.
It contains an unnecessary explanation before closing.

To identify what this letter does wrong, we need to analyze its content. Let's break it down into the three options provided:
1. It is too informal: While the letter does use an informal tone, such as using phrases like "bud" and "hit me back soon," this may not necessarily be considered a mistake if the letter is intended for a close friend or someone with whom the sender has a casual relationship. So, we can't determine that the informality is a mistake without more context.
2. It is unnecessarily apologetic: The letter does not contain any apologies, so we can rule out this option as the mistake.
3. It contains an unnecessary explanation before closing: This seems to be the most accurate option. The unnecessary explanation mentioned is the part where the sender mentions having a billion things to take care of before closing the letter. This additional information is not relevant to the content of the letter and could be considered unnecessary.
Therefore, the mistake in this letter is that it contains an unnecessary explanation before closing.
