Happy Birthday
I wish to say Happy Birthday to a new acquaintence who lives in Sweden. He is a 16 year old boy. I have only communicated by email in english prior to this. I purchased a software game for my son that this boy wrote. I have praised his work as it has brought great joy to my son. In addition to supplying the software, he published a special message to my son on his website. I wish to enter a special greeting in an email on the occasion of this boy's birthday.
