Dear Indi,
Congratulations on your engagement! I met Nadia from high school yesterday and she mentioned that you engaged
last
Saturday.
I'm so delighted that you found the partner that you were looking for throughout the years. Do you remember how we wrote poems to each other acting out as partners back in the day? I still remember the checklist that we made of the perfect boy ever. I am so happy for you from all of my heart, and sad at the same time for not being when he asked you out.
Anyhow, we need to celebrate this
! I will be around Colombo next
weekend for shopping, and I'd love it if you could join me for a drink or a snack. Please let me know.
Yours faithfully,
