Dear Dayo,

I am particularly thrilled to connect with you again. How are you, your siblings, and your work? Send my regards to your parents as well. I met our childhood mutual friend on a trip to London. On the flight, we chatted about numerous things, then your name popped up. He mentioned you will be celebrating your birthday, which is a landmark celebration because you will be 50 years old and also, you are welcoming suggestions from all your friends.

I suggest a celebration that will bring together your old-school friends and a black tie event will suit the day. Our best spot growing up, Topek garden, will be a perfect venue for the ceremony because it will bring back some fond memories.

To add to my suggestions, a landmark anniversary requires top-notch entertainment from a reputable artist. I recommend Dj Kentalky; he is a renowned entertainer and also, commands the admiration of all. Kentalky will bring some frenzy to the occassion.

Thank you my friend for giving me the opportunity to make my input in your event planning.

Best regards,

Donald
