October 1, 2016. Dear William, It will be a great opportunity to have you at our home for my eleventh birthday party on Saturday, November 30. The fun should be from 15:00h to 19:00h.

You will have the opportunity to socialise with many of our classmates and the rest of my family members. Mom has already made plans to have some of our favourite dishes. The games will be organised by Aunt Sue. She has included some of our video games. Dad will play the music for those who would like to dance.
