Dear Karen,

What a big surprise! Thank you so much. How did you remember my birthday？ I didn' t think anyone remembered it.

What a perfect gift! You must have seen how messy my house is. I' ve been really busy recently and haven't been able to do much housework. I don' t know how to thank you. Why don't you come over for dinner next week after the house is cleaned？ I' d invite you to come over for dinner this week, but I' m afraid you' d lose your appetite after seeing the mess in my house.

Please let me know your schedule. I' m lucky to have a good friend like you.

Take care,

Alison
