Dear Suzy,

How are you? You asked me for some advice about your
sister’s birthday party. I suggest you to invite her
friends and do a surprise event for your sister. About the
birthday present, I think you can give her a makeup
product because she likes makeup. Goodluck on that! That’s
all from me, see you soon. Bye!

Regards,
Azri
