Hello,
I am terribly sorry that it’s been so long since I last wrote to you. I wish I had a good excuse, but you know how hectic life can get. It’s at times like these that I sometimes forget to make time to keep in touch with special friends like you. I hope you’ll forgive me!
So what’s new with you? <details>.
I hope you’ll forgive the long silence on my end and that I’ll hear back from you soon. Take care, my friend.
Regards,
Robert Anderson
