Hi Jake,
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
I am very sad that you couldn't arrive at my birthday party. The party wasn't that fun without you. I am thankful however for the giftcard you sent me, I really needed some money. I bought a long skateboard with a colorful graphic on it using your giftcard. I purchased it at a local sports shop. I decided to get it there because the shop was really near.
Lots of love, XYZ.
