"Hi my friend.
How are you? It’s been a long time, since we talked last time. I’ve moved to Germany. Actually the company I work for, sent me here to open a new branch here. I’m the manager of the German branch. I’m really pleased to know about you, and since I had your mail address I decided to catch up with you.
What did you do after we got graduated at college? Did you study something else, or you have worked all this time? Have you got a family of your own? Did you get married? Who did you married to? How did you meet that special person? What about your parents? How are they? I still remember them. They were very nice to me.
Well after university, as you might know, I went to live in Panama city. I got an opportunity to make a professional practice with SISCO international. And while I was working in that company I meet a beautiful new receptionist. We started dating and while were going out we fall in love and six months later we got married. During the next two following years finished my practice and went to live in New York. I went to work with SONY Corporation. While I was making my life there my parents died tragically in a car accident. It took me a lot of time to get it over but I finally did. Then SONY sent me to Germany and I am here.
I’m writing you to invite you to come, since summer is coming and the country gets beautiful in summer. Me and my wife would love to have you and your family around here. Don’t worry about any expenses we invite you. Let me know if you like the idea.
Take care
Christtian F Zambrano."
