Hey Alex,
Hope you’re doing well! It’s been ages since we last caught up. Things at school are pretty hectic, but I managed to find some time to write you this letter. I wanted to share some exciting news—I finally got that skateboard I was talking about! Can’t wait for you to try it out.
Anyway, let’s plan to meet up soon. Miss hanging out with you.
Take care,
Sam
