Use your own ideas. Here is an example. Dear Rosa, I ran into Caitlin in the store yesterday. You remember Caitlin - from high school? She asked me about you. We both said we'd like to get together some time, but as neither of us had any recent news from you, we don't know if you're still around here So how are you? Do you still swim? Do you remember those awful early morning practices in high school? Neither of us enjoyed them. We both wanted to be in the cafeteria drinking hot chocolate! We used to sit there after swim class and have long discussions about our favorite bands. Neither of us liked the other's taste in music, though. You said my music was old-fashioned and I said yours was too strange! Anyway, it was great to see Caitlin again, and both of us would love to see you, too. How about meeting somewhere for a hot chocolate?

Dear Marisela, how are you? We have a long time we don’t speak, the other day I was see Mayra. She asked me about you. Neither of us have notice about you, so, you still are living in Antioquia?
