Passage 2

October 20, 2013

Mr. Eng Tan

10010 George Ave.

New York

Dear Mr. Chen,

As the president, I am proud to announce that this Friday marks the 50th anniversary of long and successful company. This, of course, calls for a night of celebration. And for this reason, we have reserved the Grand Hall at the Garden Hotel this Friday at 6 p.m. for a night of fine dining and dancing.

On this special evening, the food will be superb. I've had a chance to dine at the hotel several times in the past in other functions, and it was the food that convinced me to hold our event here. I am quite certain that all of our staff will share my feeling. Anyhow, I am looking forward to this Friday when all of our staff can let loose and have some fun.

Therefore, this is a letter to officially invite you and your spouse or significant other to join us on this memorable evening.

Please let us know if you can't attend.

Yours Sincerely,

Jeff Connelly
