Template for 3 month "keep in touch" e-mails

Hello MTers,

Does anyone have a template they'd be willing to share for the 3-month "keep in touch" e-mails that MT recommends?

For some people, these e-mails are easy as I can include a link to an interesting article or ask them a specific question.  For others, it's more difficult, as it's more of a general "how are you?" e-mail.

I realize that this will probably get easier as I do it more and build up a database of responses that I can use for the next e-mail, but I wanted to see if anyone has a template that I could use along the way.

Thanks,

-DB

This is what I write:

Hi x,

I was just thinking about you this week and wondering how you are. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Wendii

(Admittedly, I'm a way high D, but I've never had anyone remark on it being too short).

 As a high 'S' I basically send
Hello X
Just staying in touch here. The news at my company is...(one sentence). Misc question RE their company, family, hobby. Let me know if I can be of any support.
 
Keep it short. It is about being remembered. Not about what you say.

Thanks wendii and mfculbert for your templates.  Glad to see that both high Ds and high Ss can keep it short!  I'm a high D/C, so a relatively short e-mail makes me feel much more comfortable.  And it makes me more likely to actually DO it.
