Dear Finch, It's so good to hear from you, and thank you so much for taking the trouble to invite me to your daughter’s birthday party which is to be held on the 9th of August, only a few days away from now. I can’t really believe that your daughter is already 8 years old when it actually feels like she was born only a few years ago!
