Dear Joan,
The reason I am writing to you is to ask you for some help.
To begin
with, my parents are celebrating their 40th anniversary next month on 10 June, therefore
, it is really a special day for them and for me. It is so important for us because we celebrated every year all their anniversaries, so we cannot just skip it, especially because it is such
a valuable number.
Consequently
, I am sure you know about making events a lot better than me so I can rely on you. I would appreciate it if you could help me, especially with decorations and with games or amusements. I will pick you up and take you wherever you need to buy things for the celebration. Moreover
, we will have some kids there so maybe we can make up some shows for them. To be honest, I am 100 per cent sure of your abilities so you can make what and how you want.
To sum up
, I hope that you have some free time and we can arrange a meeting in order to discuss all the nuances. Thank you in advance.
I look forward to your reply
