Dear Ignacio,

Hi! How's it going? Thanks for your e-mail. Sounds like it's going very well with your restaurant. 

Well, we going to go university in a few days for the final exam. I can't believe how quickly the summer holidays went.

There are a new girl in my class this year and she is really nice. She is from new zeland, and is very good on pastry.

Talking of cooking, reminds me I have a chicken on the oven, I'd better go now.

Best wishes
Write soon! 

Julián
