Passe de bonnes vacances.

Je vous reverrai probablement en Septembre

Have a nice holiday.

I will see you again probably in September.

A friend of mine is going to France for a holiday. I want to write a SMS. 

I know my French translations are not very good.

The French may have different words to say 'see you again'.

The French verb 'voir' is 'see' in English.

We say 'au revoir' in French just to say 'see you'.

However, the context of my case deviates from the words 'see you'.

I am going to send a SMS.

Please correct my French sentences

Hi Crack,

 

I would simply write: '' Passe de bonnes vacances 1) et on se revoit en septembre''.

                                                                                           2) et rendez-vous en septembre

                                                                                           3) et à bientôt en septembre.

Your 2 sentences disagree as to whether to use "vous " or "tu" to your friend.

"Passez"? Or perhaps "Je te reverrai..."? ("On se reverra" is also good)

Dear George,

You're right about the difference of subjects (Vous vs Tu).

Regarding the second point, I'd keep the present tense as in sms and as well in the French ' Lingua Franca'

as the future tense is sometimes a bit too formal in conversations.

 

Regards,

 

Karim
