Réponse:
Dear love,
I apologize for this late response, as I've been busy with work, but I promise to come back from my business trip soon. I wanted to thank you for the flowers you sent me; they here on my desk, and give me hope. I wish you a merry Christmas, and again I'm sorry for not being there at moment. This might be the last message I send you before I come back.
Love,
John
