Dear friend!
I would like to congratulate you with a very happy new year. Did you enjoy this past year though? I hope many good things happened for you.
I myself really enjoyed spending this past year with you. We made many good memories together.
This new years let's do something interesting. Maybe throw a big party!
At least that is what I am planning to do. And I would be very happy if your could participate as well!
Would you like something by the way? I want to buy you something special.
Look forward to spending the new years with you this year as well.
Sincerely,
Your friend
