Dear General Manager,

On December 1st, I will be flying to Seattle to celebrate my 40th birthday. I would like to make a reservation for two at 7 pm.

I have a list of requests that I hope you can accommodate to make a memorable evening:

First, I do not want a corner table. I feel very alone and isolated when I sit in the corner. I would like a table in an open area, preferably in the center of the restaurant.

Second, I would like to have your finest server take my order.

I’m requesting your finest server because I’ve had inadequate service in many restaurants, and I can’t risk this happening on my birthday. I recently went to a restaurant in Vancouver, BC, and the server, after seating me at a corner table behind a fern tree, forgot all about me!

Third, I would like to order a birthday cake with 40 candles and “Happy 40th Birthday You Very Sexy Man!” written on it. For the icing, any color is fine except pink or sarcoline.

Also, please make sure the cake is large enough for all your staff to have at least one piece. I want everyone to remember me!

Fourth, when the cake is delivered to my table, I would like the servers to gather in a circle and sing “Happy Birthday, Mr. Tuckerman”, and then say out loud: “You are amazing!” And for each server that sings, I will tip them a dollar in appreciation.

My final request is I would like to use a karaoke machine. I will have it delivered to your restaurant the day before. My girlfriend will be travelling with me, and I want to surprise her by singing several songs. She knows nothing of my plans for my 40th birthday. After my last song, I’m going to propose to her!

I know your patrons will love my performance. I used to be an Elvis impersonator in my home town of Falkland, BC, singing every weekend at the Falkland Pub.

The local ladies found me irresistible in my younger years, especially when I sang “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” They couldn’t help but fall in love with me! Needless to say, I never went home alone.

I look forward to a reservation confirmation at your earliest convenience.

However, if you are unable to accommodate my requests, can you tell me another place to go?

Sincerely yours,

Roger Tuckerman
