Dear Manager,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request a reservation of a private room at your restaurant for a surprise birthday party for a close friend. The celebration is planned for Saturday, March 16, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. We expect around 15 to 18 guests. Please let me know if a private room is available at this time. If allowed, we would like to add simple birthday decorations such as balloons and a banner. We would also appreciate access to basic audio equipment for background music, if possible. Regarding food, we are interested in either a set menu for groups or the option to pre-order selected dishes in advance. I would be glad to review any menu options or packages you recommend for private events. Please let me know about availability, pricing, and any requirements for booking. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

[Tima]
