Dear Joan,

I’m writing this letter to tell you about my mother’s anniversary next month, I don’t really know what I can do. I need your help at this moment.

This party is very important, because I’ll surprise my mother, and celebrate it at the big restaurant. We’ve never arranged this huge anniversary before in my family, so I want to make this occasion memorable for her.

I need your help because last year at Rudi’s birthday, you succeeded in handling the event, which was your idea as a professional event planner. I want you to plan the same concept for my mother’s anniversary. I believe in you that you’ll make it successful with your concept. I’ll run this anniversary at Sarimanda Restaurant in Surabaya, where this place is memorable.

If you have free time, I’ll meet you to discuss it on Sunday at your home. I hope you will be able to follow this plan, and I’m very thankful for your help.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

All the best,

Eko.
