Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request some information about your catering company.

Firstly, I am going to have a graduation party on 21^st June, and I would also like to know what sort of facilities are provided.

Secondly, I would be grateful if you could tell me how much it costs. I am responsible for organizing the party. Please, would you include Spanish or Italian food?

Another matter: I would like to know about the availability of your venue at 2:00 p.m. We have a budget of a thousand pounds, and I wanted to know if everything is included. I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Finally, I wonder if you could serve the drinks for us.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Hi / Dear Cesarina / Hello Cesarina,

I’m writing because I’d like to invite you to learn to dance Zumba. In my gym, there is an offer to start dancing, and if we start to dance together, we will just pay half price.

I think that we’ll enjoy it because we love music, and we can go every day and at any time.

I hope that you can come with me. Please, let me know as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a claim form.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Lila,

Hi! Just a quick note to say thank you for coming to my party last week (or: for your invitation) and giving me a special present.

Thank you so much for my lovely present. I was very glad you came because I hadn’t seen you for a long time, and you are a very special friend. We must meet up again soon!

The party was great. I hope you enjoyed it as much as me. I especially liked the music, food, and dancing. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work (¡gracias por la fiesta!).

It was very good fun and I hope you liked it too.

Thanks again.

Hopefully, see you soon.
