SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mrs Smith,
For Gary’s retirement party, I have booked eight tables that each seat ten guests at a local restaurant named The Kitchen, which serves a variety of French and Italian cuisine. In addition, we will be seated upstairs in a large private area that is air-conditioned, spacious and well-lit, with a sound system that we will have control of.
This venue is suitable as it is located on the same side of the city as our offices which means that we will not be affected by the rush hour traffic when commuting there after work this Friday. Furthermore, there is ample parking for all attending which means that dinner will be served as early as possible as per your instructions.
For the retirement gift, I purchased an elegant watch manufactured using scrap metal from an old fighter jet. As you know, Gary served in the air force, so this gift considers his personal life while also keeping within the tradition of a watch being presented to the retiree.
Yours sincerely,
