Dear Mr. Mai,

Thank you sooooooooooo much for your birthday greetings. I appreciate it.

Yes, from Aug 2011, the first time we talked, a lot of things are unforgettable. I remember whenever i had any question and called you, you always gave me  patient, prompt, professional and detail answers. Your nice suggestion made my application more easier. Without your help, I cannot get my green card very quickly. Until now   I often recall the letters, the valuable suggestion. Your help really changed my life.

I have to drive in East Coast since the transportation here is not so convenient as in San Francisco, especially in my city. Driving on snow was a tough thing for me when we just moved here. With the time, I feel a little better. Especially this winter, there were tons of snow here. So I have to change some of my schedules. The good thing is my apartment is near my lab and my daughter's school, so i do not need to drive everyday.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful season! When you have any chance to come to Providence, please let me know, I would like to invite you have a dinner. Thanks.
