Would anyone tell me the diference between the following expressions:

I have not heard from you a long time
I have not heard from you long time ago.
I have not news from you since .....

Thanks!

Hi! There is no difference in meaning, but let me make some small corrections:

I have not heard from you in a long time!
I have not heard from you since a long time ago!
I have not had news from you since...

You can also substitute "haven't" for "have not", "haven't" being informal.

I haven't heard...
I haven't had...
With a few corrections to your sentences:

I haven't heard from you for a long time. okay
I have not heard from you long time ago. no, this is incorrect
I haven't heard from you since... okay
i would say...
I havent heard from you in a long time
Its been ages since I heard from you
Its been a long time since I heard from you
Just a few minor corrections for Starlight's sake:

Could you tell me the difference between this and the following from TMNT The Entity Below at 20:13:

-I have heard long ago of other underground cities where Elantians fled the dark empire.
