An informal email 1. Inviting a friend You are studying English at a private language school attended by many international students. You are planning a surprise birthday party for a friend who has been feeling particularly sad and homesick. Write to another classmate and invite him / her to the party. In your letter: explain the reason for the party give the date and time of the party suggest what the classmate could bring to the party Dear Aisha, How are you? I hope you're doing well. I'm writing you because, as you know, Susan has been really sad and homesick recently and because of that Maria and I have decided to cheer her with a surprise party this Saturday at 20:00 pm in our flat. Are you going to be free? I hope you are. I also have planned to invite some of her mother city's friends like Marina and Tom, she will be really happy to see them again, won't she? We will need some help with all the party arrangements, like food, chairs and decoration. Would you help us with all that stuff? I Know that Susan totally loves horror films. What do you think about planning a thematic party about this subject? I think Susan would love it! Maybe we can also suggest to each classmate to bring some food to the party, I'm not keen into cooking and if I had to prepare the party menu I'm sure it would be a completely mess. Susan have yoga classes on Saturday from 18:00 to 19:00, so we will need someone to distract her before the party. Who can do it? Will David be free on Saturday? I will be really glad if you can talk with him and ask him for some help. If you have more ideas for the party let me know as soon as possible. Lot of love, Marian
