Dear Matthew,
I'm thinking of organising a surprise party for my son Steve's eighteenth birthday next month. Could you help me out? I know you two are good friends.
First of all, I'm not quite sure who Steve would like to be there. Can you let me know?
Also, we could have the party on Steve's birthday, which is a Thursday night, or at the weekend. What do you think?
Lastly, I'll need some help with the decorations and preparations before the party. Any idea who could help me?
Regards,
Pat Jacobs
