One of your colleagues is leaving for a new job, your manager has asked you to arrange a leaving party for him.
Write a letter to your manager and
•Suggest a suitable day and time for the party
•Recommend a place
•Discuss about the food and entertainment options available
Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing you this letter to suggest arrangements for the party we are organising for David who is leaving the firm.
Since it is David his last day next Friday I would suggest this is the most appropriate day to organise the leaving party. Being a small company with not too much employees, we have the benefit that everybody knows each other, so I would like to invite everyone to the party.
The office we use for meetings seems the ideal place to hold the party, it is not too big and it has a small cafeteria alongside where we can store the food and drinks. If you agree, I would like to leave the catering in the hands of the company that arranged the food last time we had colleagues over from America. Concerning the entertainment, I know somebody who can do stand- up comedy and would involve David in his show for this occasion.
If these arrangements suit you, please let me know as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Heidi
