Dear Chris, How are you? I got your letter yesterday, and it is my pleasure to hear that you've been promoted to the Vice President position. I can imagine how much hardwork you did for the company and finally you've received its prize. My parents are thrilled to hear this news and wanted me to invite you for dinner to celebrate this occasion together with the family. They have known you since childhood and consider you as a part of our family, and it's been so long you haven't met them. I understand that it might be hard for you to manage time because of new responsibilities and commitments, however I believe this is the best moment for everyone to catch up. I've an exciting news for you too. I've been awarded the position of Director of Operations and it comes with the perks of international trips and medical benefits.
