Good Morning [Name]!
[NOTE: You can instead use just 'Good Morning!' as the opener.]
Enjoyed last night? I certainly did. I had some great company. You! And, oh, yes, the others too!
Wish you had stayed for breakfast. You are not the only one whom duty called away. Three of the others we were with last night also had to take the red-eye back home. We are four mouths short!
I'm having breakfast as I write this. We've got creole onion soup for the appetizer . . . an eggs Portuguese entrée . . . and Louisiana chocolate pecan pie for dessert.
I know you have a big day today. Else you would have never chosen to leave us halfway into the party. I want to wish you a day full of inspiration. As the sun rises and the rays of light appear, the day comes in the form of a wonderful blessing from God. It gives a new hope for our journey called life.
By the way, please don't forget our Tuesday date with the architect and his two associates. The builder may join us too. I've already told them we expect construction to begin no later than Friday. Will pick you up from the airport. Can you bring some gifts for our three special guests?
Take care. Hope you have a splendid day.
[NOTE: Here, you can include 'Forever yours,' or 'Lots of love,' or 'Take care.' or something similar. What you write depends on how well you know the recipient and the level of intimacy the two of you share.]
