Why does everyone assume it's a girl?

Situationally it being a girl makes more sense.

Okay, but what does it say?

Everyone is judging by the last part which is in English, ya know.

I know. I fully understand that she couldn't bring the durian. But what does the viet part say? I don't have viet on my compy, so I can't enter in some of the characters, and it's a pain to try and copy paste every single letter.

Thanks for coming over to my house and hanging out and "chao mung le" (I don't know what this translate to in English. It's something with a church ceremony) with me. In all these years you helped me out a lot and in the future, I will be able to hang out with you.
Thanks again and congrats!

Thank you for coming over to hang out at my place and celebrating graduation with me. In these years you've helped me a lot and in the following years (I hope) we can hang out.
Thanks and congratuations again!
Love.
Le = a festive event
ra truong = school-leaving = graduation
Sry for the delay.

ooh. I read it as "trung" meaning "with" and I took "le" other definition of meaning "church".
"chao mung le ra trung voi me" didn't make much sense lol.
"Sinh minh" means hope? I wasn't sure what that meant either.

I made the "hope" part up, which explains the parentheses. I honestly have no idea what she meant with that part either. Although I know it's not "sinh minh" together, the "mình" part refers to them two as a whole (writer and reader), so it's supposed to be: và trong mấy năm tới [insert something here] (chúng) mình đi chơi được.
I've noticed her tendency to properly dot her i's, so I'm thinking that word is not "sinh" but rather... something else incomprehensible. It's not a big deal anyway. You got most of it perfectly.
As for writing Vietnamese, you can try using this.

The writing is legible, at least to me, but it was hard to understand some words. Maybe it's just me. I was trying to figure what "Sinh minh" was too. At first, my initial reaction was "Ask me?". What the f`uck does she mean by "Ask me"? Maybe she didn't spell out some words right?
With the "sinh minh" part, when I re-read the sentence, it says:
"During those/these years, you've helped me a lot, and during the upcoming (not sure) / recent years, maybe I can go visit/travel."
I typed maybe because she could have meant to say "moi", meaning next or upcoming, iirc. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.. Meh.
I think back in Elementary, they used the word "to" (with a hook above the 'o') to refer as "I". I don't know what "me" is, seems like "mom" or something, but that's unlikely.

That's what I thought at first too. I took it literally
sinh - ask for permission
minh - myself
ask myself for permission = allow myself. Usually in Viet, that means "asking my mother if I can go hang out".

Yeah, that's what I thought. Problem here is, then if that's the case, all of the 'me's used in the letter would indicate that she was referring to her mom? Strange.

She uses Viet-English hybrid. Typical bypass for using "em", "anh", "chi". Me means me. It's English.
