| Subject: You Are Invited! Hello, Sandra’s dearest friends, June 2nd is Sandra’s 25th birthday. Sandra has been our best friend for a long time. For this wonderful friend, I plan to have a different party to celebrate her special day. We all know that Sandra is a big fan of Detective (侦探) Conan, so the party is named Who Took Away the Ring. Everyone that is coming to the party will be given a role and the role’s script (剧本). So, if you decide to join us, you will have to prepare a costurme for your role. For example, if you play a waitress, you’ll have to dress up as a waitress to the party and then talk to the other people playing roles according to the script. During the party, you’ll join us in finding out who took away the queen’s ring. The party will be held at Jade Hotel at 7 p.m. on June 2nd. Lots of delicious foods and drinks will be prepared, so there’s no need to worry about getting hungry or thirsty. Please tell us if you’d like to join the party before-the end of this month.
