Band 8+: You are planning a surprise birthday party for a friend who is moving to a new city soon. Write a letter to your friend's neighbour asking for help in organizing the party. You should include details about: - why you are planning a surprise party - what kind of help you need from the neighbour - when and where the party will be held.

Dear,Laura

I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to share something exciting with you – I’m planning a surprise birthday party for [Birthday Friend’s Name], and I’d love for you to be part of it. The idea is to make the day really special and memorable since [he/she/they] has done so much for all of us.

To make everything run smoothly, I’ll need a little help. It would be great if you could take care of one of the main tasks. For example, you could be in charge of decorating the place before [Birthday Friend’s Name] arrives. You’ve got such a creative eye, and I think you could set the perfect atmosphere.

If decorating doesn’t work for you, another option is helping to organize the music playlist or making sure everyone is ready to shout “Surprise!” at the right moment. Either way, your help would mean a lot to me and would make the party even more fun.

Let me know what you think – I can’t wait to pull this off together!

Best,Marta
