Subject: Good-by Luncheon for Christa

Colleagues: This Friday will be Christa's last full day in the Norfolk office before her relocation back to Copenhagen and her new IT position with the Group.

We would therefore like to request your presence at a farewell luncheon where we can properly say good-by to Christa and thank her for her many contributions to Company.

Details for the event are provided below:

Time and date: 12:00 Friday 18, April
Location: Town Point Club, Norfolk
Attire: Coat and tie

We look forward to seeing everyone together with Christa one last time on Friday.

Og tillad mig dernæst at præsentere; snuppet direkte fra den semi-mondæne members-only clubs hjemmeside (grammatik-fejl dog rettet herfra), som tilsyneladende vedbliver under construction:

Our commitment to you is that:
Our staff will be able to serve a two course a la carte lunch in 30-minutes or less from the time you are seated.

- Og det er vel the embodification af kvalitet?

Sidst lykkedes det tjeneren at afbryde samtalen 4 gange med sin 4 x kaffeservering over 12 minutter - serveret enkeltvis med rystende hånd og let spilden på uddaterede laksko. Til gengæld var den kold. Og i øvrigt forkert. Men regningen var allerede skrevet ud og afleveret til den ældste af hankøn.

Enter: forventningens glæde.
