Dear Sam,

I hope this email find you in good health and happy.

It’s been a long time since we’ve spoke. First of all, I want to wish you a very happy birthday Sam. I wish all the hapiness in the world as I know you do deserve that. As for suggestions for the birthday, I have to say I am humbled and would like to thank you for considering me and my opinion.

In regards to the theme of the party, I suggest a classical theme. On the one hand, it is a landmark birthday so it is quite a suitable theme for this occasion. On the other hand, I am aware of your love for classical music, dance, ladies and gentlemen in fancy suits and the overall atmosphere.

As for the venue, I happen to know the best that offers a complete package for a classical-themed party. Khorshid venue in district 22, close to Daryache squire, is the perfect choice. My cousin’s wedding was held in that hall and he was completely satisfied with their services. If you’d like, I can contact them to see if I can get a royalty discount for your birthday event.

When it comes to creating the perfect classical and romantique era atmosphere, great music is crucial. My friend Rasoul is the violinist of Pallette band. I’m sure you’re familiar with their work. They have been touring all over the country and performing Mozart’s Lacrimosa. Look them up and see for yourself.

Please consider my suggestions and let me know if you agree on either of them. Although, I have to say if you agree with all of them, you well have THE most memorable birthday event of your hot young life if I do say so myself.

I look forward to hearing from you soon Sam.

Best wishes,

Aryan
