Dear Mai Anh,

I am excited to invite you to my birthday party in this weekend. It will be held on 14/9/2021 at my 7:00 PM at my house.

We will have plenty of pizza, soda, chips, candy, cakes and other snack foods, as well as an awesome laser tag tournament. In addition, we will have some incredibly delicious ice cream cake at the end. 

I'm looking forward to seeing you come, that'll bring more life to this special event of mine. Best wishes,
