Dear Ada,

I hope you’re doing well. My birthday is coming up, so I was wondering if you could help me with the party.

The party will be music themed, as most of the people invited are musicians. It will be in the evening on the 25th of April. I was thinking it could start at 7 pm and end at 11 pm, which I feel like is a convenient time for everyone to go home. The party will have music from a hired band, a musical contest between some of the invitees, and plenty of refreshments and balloons.

Which brings me to the aim of this letter. At the beginning of the month we were talking about restaurants in the city, and I remember you mentioning a very cute one on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately I don’t remember how it’s called and how to get there, could you please remind me? Also, I know you said the food was amazing, but what do they actually serve? Is it seafood or pizza and fried food? Do you have a favorite dish from the menu you think most of our friends would enjoy?

Let me know as soon as you can. I hope my party will be a great occasion to meet up with you again over a nice plate of hot food. Have a nice week!
