Your friend <friendname> has given you a gift subscription to the game
Gas Station Simulator on Steam.

You can sign the gift however you want and it'll only show "Memo S"

Yeah.. Steam/Valve isn't going to give away your actual account name or email associated with it to anyone.

It used to but Valve removed the sender's email address in gift emails 4 years ago.
