Subject: Mr Martin's Retirement Party

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for forwarding me the email about Mr Martin's retirement party; for some reason I didn't get it when you sent it out originally I'm writing to confirm that I will definitely be attending the party Also, as we discussed, I'd like to help out with the planning and organization for the party I've worked with Mr Martin for nearly ten years, and he's been the best boss I've ever had I really want to make this a special event for him!

First of all, is this going to be a potluck, or will we be ordering a catered meal? I'd like to help out either way If it's a potluck, I'd be happy to bring a dish to share If we're going to hire a caterer, I can suggest several because I often arrange catering for our training sessions I even have menus from several different catering businesses if you'd like to take a look at them

Next, how about decorations for the party? I've actually got some nice banners at home that say “Congratulations on Your Retirement!” I originally used them for my uncle's retirement party last year Would you like me to bring those and hang them up in the room? What other decorations are planned? How about some nice centerpieces for the tables, such as flower arrangements?

Finally, if there's any other way I can help out that I haven't mentioned above, just let me know I'd really like to get involved in this and something nice for Mr Martin Thanks for organizing the party!
