Dear Mike,
Your letter and package reached me yesterday.You really give me a great surprise.I was wondering what was in such a nice package until I carefully opened it and found that you sent me an attractive present for my birthday.Thank you very much for your kindness,and I like the present,which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.
Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday.Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me,including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy,who invited you and I to his birthday last October.We enjoyed ourselves,and all of us mentioned your stay with us.We hope that you will come to China soon,if possible.
Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.
Yours,
Peter Wang
