The Main body of your letter Dear Ms. Adair, This letter will confirm the arrangements for the dinner at your facilities. It will be held on the evening of Friday, March 20,2015 in the Emporium Room. As we have discussed , the florist and cater will both be able to access the room by 3:00 to begin preparations. I will need seating arrangements for 32 people, which will be set up prior to that time. I have enclosed the initial deposit and will forward the remainder within four weeks of the event. I thank you for all your help thus far in planning this important event. I look forward to continuing to work with you to make this evening a night my friends will never forget.
