Dear Sara,

How are you doing? It seems like we haven't talked to each other for ages! 

How are you doing at school? I'm struggling a bit with maths, but I think I'm starting to understand it better now.

Have you seen that new movie that just came out? It looks so cool, we should go see it together! What do you think?

Let me know how it goes with you. Talk to you soon!

Kind regards,

[Your name]
