INFORMAL EMAIL TEMPLATE

Hi Dear,

            I hope everything is well at your end. I just wanted to tell you that recently Payal and I moved to Pune. After spending wonderful three years in Delhi, it’s kind of a fresh start for both of us. We’re sorry, we could make it to your big day but our best wishes will always be with you. It’d just great if you could visit us in this part of the world. The weather here is really great, enjoying it immensely. And many thanks for the gift.

Hope to hear from you soon. I’m sending you the photographs I captured during recent shoot.

Take care,

Amit
