how to write warm email greetings

[theol]

I just found out that I got an email few days ago from someone who owes me respect a lot. I am not sure how to write a warm greeting, any ideas?
This is the below greeting he sent me in the email.

"I hope you and your family enjoyed a good start to the Lunar/Chinese New Year of the (Golden) Ox, and that today's 15th-day Lantern Festival celebrations went well."

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Note my changes and comments above. I have underlined "owes" because I'm really not sure it's the right word. Can you explain why they owe you a lot of respect?

How about:

New Years greetings on behalf of my entire family and myself. We hope that you enjoy happiness and prosperity throughout the coming year, and that your Lantern Festival celebrations were happy and enjoyable.

I was trying to say I owe him my respect.

You have to write out the email yourself and we'll see if we can help. We wouldn't know what you want to say.

I think my suggested reply still works. A warm and friendly tone is appropriate and works regardless of which person owes respect to the other.

NOT A TEACHER

Theol, as an 83-year-old, I consider a "warm email greeting" an oxymoron." (I think that I used that word correctly.)

How can an email be "warm"?

If you want to send him a "warm greeting," you should take the time to write some comments on good paper, put it in an envelope, put a stamp on the envelope, and mail it.

Do I assume correctly that you can write Chinese? If I am, your friend would surely be impressed if he were to open the envelope and see your sentiments expressed in beautifully written Chinese characters.
