Hello Luis!

How are you?

I am very glad to send you this message.

I've been thinking and it's been a while since we've been
together. I have decided to meet up with some close friends
and I would like you to join us, too. Are you available next
weekend for a BBQ in the park? You have to be at the park
at 11 and bring your funniest side to spend a pleasant
afternoon.

I wait for your answer.
