Dear [recipient's name]:

A little bird told me that you have a big birthday coming up, so I want to send you huge congratulations! The little bird also told me that you will be over the hill as you turn 40, but I just want to say "hogwash" to that! You will always be young at heart in my book, and you’ve always looked way younger than you are anyway.

I would love to get together so we can celebrate your birthday in person, so please give me a call sometime soon and we can make plans. It will be so much fun to give you a big birthday hug and enjoy some birthday cake together. Best wishes for many more happy and healthy decades, and again, congratulations on celebrating this exciting milestone!
