Explanation:
I suppose you need the English translation. "De" is actually rather rare, especially if this is sent by a friend; the usual form is "deg" (Jeg elsker deg).
"De" is the polite form, used only when addressing the elderly, as "you" was originally in English (as compared to "thou")

And the correct form would be \"Dem\", not \"De\", but I now realise that the \"g\" in \"deg\" was probably cut off...
