Dear Mr. Peterson,

I am looking to engage the services of your catering company, A Taste of Class, for our Christmas party at the end of this year. Ideally, we would like to have our event on Saturday, December 20. I just have a few questions about your services. First, do you provide decorations? I really want this year's party to be a hit; it is my first time being responsible for it and I really want to impress the boss. Second do you have a wide range of vegetarian dishes? We have 12 vegetarians on our staff of 35, so it will be important to provide them a full meal, not just appetizers. If you could get back to me with the answers to my questions and your availability for the 20th , I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Jason Hostrum

Junior Secretary, Johnson Home Furnishing

Dear Mr. Hostrum,

I am delighted that you have contacted A Taste of Class to help make your Christmas party one to remember. Let me answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease. To begin with, we have one team left that can cater you for the 20th of December, so you are in luck! As far as the decorations are concerned, we have several different themes to choose from; please visit our website at www.atasteofclass.com to see pictures of our successful events from the past. They are labeled with themes so you may just choose one that appeals to you. Your final inquiry regarding the vegetarian option will also require some decision-making on your part. We offer gourmet dining and are happy to specially prepare 12 vegetarian meals, but that can be a little bit expensive. I don't know what your budget is, but might I suggest making the entire menu vegetarian? We have an outstanding vegetarian chef, Julia Monroe, who can prepare a full vegetarian buffet so delicious a lion would eat it! This option is also a lot more cost-effective than preparing two separate menus. After reviewing your options, please let me know what choices are best for you.

Sincerely,

Brian Petersen,

Booking and Sales Manager

A Taste of Class

Dear Mr. Petersen,

Thanks for your reply. I want to go ahead and book the event for Saturday the 20 th of December. I want the decoration theme Winter Wonderland, and I have decided to take your advice and go with whatever menu chef Julia Monroe can put together for us. I really appreciate all of your recommendations and I just know this will be a great event!

All the best,
