The Manager, Muna Suites Restaurant,

Owerri.

Dear Sir,

BOOKING INQUIRY

My name is Vivien Chiamaka. I am planning a surprise birthday party for a close friend and I would like to get some details to aid our booking. The birthday party is scheduled to hold on the 4th of February, 2026. It will be an evening party commencing around 4pm. I would love to know the price of booking your private room at that time and date and conditions attached if any.

From my calculations, I’m expecting about 50 guests. However, the restaurant is expected to make a contingency plan for an additional 20 guests.

From your website, I saw your menu offers jollof rice with a side of coleslaw and chicken. I would love to book that as our main course. I will also love to book a customized cake with the inscription “happy birthday Evelyn”. A buttercream cake will be preferable and her favorite color is green. I would be grateful if some green balloons would be incorporated into the decoration of the private hall.

Do let me know the cost of all the products and services to enable me finalize the booking in time for the party. Thanking you in anticipation of your favorable response.

Sincerely,

Vivien Chiamaka.
