Greeting letter

A greeting email from a very close old mate really pleased me the day before yesterday.

Having not seen him online for nearly 3 weeks, that worried and confused me about his current business and personal life situation and his consideration of our "business-planing" going.
Wasn't he much happy?

But, when a close friend/or family members said hi to you even after arguement, it is just very nice, isn't it? That is why the friend called CLOSE friend and the member called family member.
