Dear Jane,
How are you? It's been a while since we last spoke. I hope you and your family are doing well. I wanted to catch up with you and share some news.
First of all, I wanted to tell you about my recent trip to Paris. It was amazing! I saw all the famous sights and tried lots of delicious food. I even managed to practice my French a little bit. I know you've always wanted to visit Paris, so I thought you'd be interested to hear about it.
On a different note, I also wanted to ask you about your new job. How is it going? I remember you were really excited about it when we last spoke, and I'm curious to know how things are working out.
Anyway, I don't want to take up too much of your time. Let's catch up soon and maybe plan a get-together with some of our old friends.
Take care,
John
