Dear John,

I hope you are in high spirits. I must congratulate you on transitioning to an adult, as you celebrate your 18th birthday on the next Saturday. It is very exciting indeed. Thus, I would like to make a few suggestions on celebrating your birthday to make it a most memorable event for you.

Firstly, we should keep a theme for your birthday such as, a black tie event where males can wear a Black tuxedo and tie, and females can dress up in black shimmer gowns. It will bring a lot of grace and glamour to the party.

Secondly, I would recommend to celebrate it at Manhattan pub and restaurant which is on Sesame street, as it will be central location for everyone. It serves delicious food and drinks with happy hours.

Lastly, I feel we can play some games for entertainment like housie, fashion show catwalk, and keep prizes for the winners. Furthermore, we can have a DJ playing party numbers so that we can shake a leg or two and groove to the tunes.

I look forward to a great celebration and hearing your thoughts on this too .

Best wishes,

Joe
