When I visited last month you had a lot of unsolved problems and you was a little bit depressed because of it. I hope that now everything is fine! You know that you can always rely on me and all share your troubles with me.

I am also writing you to invite you to party, as you probably remember I have a Birthday on March (число своего др). We will celebrate at the restaurant, I hope that it will be a good chance for you to relax and meet new people (I have invited a lot of friends from my university).

By the way, how was your brother’s Birthday? I am sorry that once again I couldn’t come – I was sick and had to stay in bed. I am sending my gift to him through our friend Ben. He turned 14, right? I will be happy to see him at my Birthday as well.

Best regards, (свое имя) ✨
