Subject: Congratulations on Your Moving to the New House

Dear Jacob,

Thanks for your E-mail dated October 9th, 2017 inviting me to attend your housewarming party. Congratulations on your moving to the new home in Sunshine Avenue on October 14th, 2017. I feel honored and privileged to pay a visit to your new house someday.

It is such a wonderful thing that you have your own house. I heard that your new house is very big and well-situated. The surrounding environment is also quite nice. You really have a good taste. Please enjoy your new life in the new house.

Please accept an oil painting from me as an ornament for your sitting-room. I hope you will like it anyway.

Best wishes for all of you.

Yours sincerely,

Noah
