Dear Rahul, Hey buddy! I hope you're doing well. First of all, thanks a lot for attending my birthday party. I know you've had a busy schedule that weekend and it was almost impossible for you to make time for my birthday but you still managed to do so. Your presence was the best gift for me.

Therefore
