In your letter tell your friend about your planned party ask what the restaurant is called and for directions to get there ask what kind of food it serves and if your friend has any particular recommendations from the menu

Dear Raj, Hope you are doing well. It had been so long that we did not meet each other. As you already know, next week is my
birthday
and I am turning eighteen.
Therefore
,
this
birthday
is very special for me and my parents
also
allowed me to plan a party at the restaurant. I have started making plans about how to organize it and to whom I am going to invite. The party will be a theme party and everyone will have a dress code.
Moreover
, I am planning some games and winners will get the prizes. Actually, during our previous conversation, you told me about a restaurant you visited for a family dinner. You told me that they have a separate area for private parties and they are giving discounts for them. I would be grateful if you could tell me the name of the place and the way to get there so that I can get there easily.
Apart from
this
, you
also
told me that they had good Indian food. Can you please share some more details about the food they have at their restaurant
.
Change the punctuation
?
show examples
You can recommend to me any other dish you liked when you
last
visited there. You have to come to my
birthday
celebration because my
birthday
will be incomplete without you. Hoping to hear from you and meet you on my
birthday
. Yours lovingly, Rahul
