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

, there was no need for the present that you gave me and I can't thank you much about it. I'm really happy with the laptop that you gifted me as my old one was already running slowly and I was thinking of buying a new one. There are multiple projects lined up for me with a tight deadline and

this

laptop will be really helpful for me in completing those projects on time as it is smart and fast!

Also

, we have a long weekend coming up and summer is almost here, I was thinking we could plan a road trip to Toronto. I'll let you know soon about it and I know you won't deny me. Can't wait to hear back from you. See you soon. Best wishes, Tirth Thakkar
