Dear Pete,

I hope you’re doing well Pete! I’m writting to tell you about an exciting upcoming event and to ask for a big favour from you creative minds!

I’m taking a lead on planning Alicia’s birthday party this year, and of course it’s going to be a surprise for her! I’m thinking to invite all of her close friends to my house without letting her know and pretending it’s just going to be a chill night catch up between me and her. I’ve already invited her friends and they are all down for it, so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Here’s the thing, Alicia loves Thai food, and I think you are the right person for me to ask a massive favour from. I know that you are talented with your cooking skills, I still remember the Thai Green Curry you cooked for me last Christmas, it was the best. I would appreciate it a lot if you could help me with this, either giving me a breakdown on how to make it, or teaching me in person.

I’m thinking this weekend would be the perfect timing for me to learn how to cook Thai food, and I will have enough time to practice it as well. If you are free and don’t have any plan, I think it would be a perfect time for us if you’re happy with that.

Let me know your thoughts about this and we can work on from there!

Again, Thank you so much in advance and I look forward to hear back from you soon.

With Love,

Elle
