Hi Cate, I hope everything is well with you. Guess what? Next Saturday is my birthday and I'm having a friendly celebration. I'd like to meet you at my party as we haven't seen each other for several months. You'll enjoy it a lot since your favourite band (TK Band) will be here to create a memorable night for all of us.
Also
, I planned to prepare some snacks and finger food which I'm sure you are a fan of . By the way, as I've checked on the net, there is a train at 7 o'clock from your city to here and if you buy the ticket, you'll arrive by 10 o'clock.
Besides
, I have an extra room including a bed in my new flat where I can offer you to stay. If you can come, my friends and I"ll be so excited since I've told them a lot about you. Please let me know whether you can come or not. Look forward to meeting you at my birthday party. Love, Julia
