Dearest sir,
It would be with deepest pride for me to attend your show of January the 22nd and see for my own what all the controversy is really about.
In advance, I would like to thank you for giving me this thrilling opportunity so that I can write this article, hopefully bending at least some peoples minds towards a more positive view of those who are in any way different from the norm.
I assure you, you will not regret giving me this chance to write the perfect piece and I am happy to even say, that I have had the pleasure of working with you. I am looking forward to meeting you.
Faithfully,
Paul Bent
