Hi Jess
How are you? I haven’t seen you for over six months. I hope you are well and enjoying your new job.
Are you doing anything next Saturday? I’m having a birthday party at my house and I’m inviting a few friends. People are arriving at 7:30. Everyone is bringing some food for the party. Could you bring a salad?
It would be lovely to see you and have the chance to chat.
Love
Sam
