Subject: Thank you!
Dear Todd,
Thank you so much for your hospitality in New York. Emiko and I really enjoyed meeting you and Rosemary, and your staff, and we especially enjoyed your wonderful party. We’re now back home safely in Tokyo. It was a comfortable flight back, but when we arrived at Narita airport, one of our suitcases was missing! It was the one that contained all the gifts we had bought for our kids. I thought the bag would probably be arriving on the next flight from New York, but in fact, the airline had sent my bag to London by mistake! Anyway, everything was fine in the end. The airline delivered the suitcase to my house two days later. The kids were very happy to finally get their presents. I look forward to seeing you and Rosemary in Tokyo one day.
Best wishes,
Hiroshi
