Dear Daniel,

I have the most wonderful news, and I simply cannot keep it to myself a moment longer! Of course it would be far better to tell you face to face, but since you are still away at the trade show in Calgary and I am near bursting with the excitement of it all, waiting until you fly home is out of the question.
