Dear [insert name from little known country here],
You will always be my best [insert country nationality here] friend. It is a fact because you are the only [same nationality] person I know. Just kidding.
But, oh my God, how I love the [same nationality, in plural if necessary]! I will never forget the [name of cheap food here] you once cooked for me in your tiny walk-up rental wearing that [traditional piece of clothing] your mother had made for you back in [tiny unknown village in same country] in the winter of [year when whatever happened in country that made it to the New York Times p. 29 or prior]. On that day, each year, I raise my glass to the brave [nationality] to commemorate your [victory/demise/annihilation/resurrection/revolution—choose as appropriate]. It is a/n [uplifting/devastating/exhilarating/exquisite—choose adjective corresponding to previous sentence] event in the history of [relevant continent].
But enough of the past! I cannot wait to see you and [name of the opposite sex, no funny business] again so we can try the [nationality] [spirit over 40% ABV, 80 proof] you brought us the last time you visited.
How I’d love to hear your sweet accent again! The way you say [any word foreign speakers of English struggle with] sounds so genuine and bold!
Hugs, [typical name from any OECD country]
