Your best friend just had her first baby. You are currently overseas but will be returning to your hometown in a week.

Dear Emma,

I cannot believe I am an aunt now! You have become the mother of a sweet baby girl to make me the happiest person in the world. Many congratulations and my love and blessing for both of you.

I regret that I am far away from you. As a matter of fact, I came to Tokyo to attend an official meeting last Monday. My tasks here will occupy me for another week or so I will return to Manhattan on 27th October. I want to see you and your baby as soon as I land. I will probably visit you first and then get back to my apartment.

Please do not hesitate to text or call me if you want me to bring anything for you. I will do some shopping for the baby and any suggestion from you is much welcomed.

I cannot wait to see you both. I have not heard such thrilling news in decades. My best wished to you all once again.

Warm wishes,

Eugene
