Dear Ms Bates,
Tam writing in reply to your advert in the local paper for
Personalised birthday songs. My sister is turning 18 next month and
Tam considering having a song made for her. However, I would like
to ask a few questions first.
First of all, Iwas wondering what style of music you write. Do you
make up your own tunes or use melodies from well-known songs?
{n addition, I would like to ask whether you play the instruments
yourselves or use playback from the Internet,
{Would also like to know what information can be included in the
song. Would it be possible to meet Personally, so that I can tell you
about some funny incidents from my sister's childhood that Vd like
you to mention? Finally, could you please tell
to have a song made and how long it takes?
Tam looking forward to your prompt reply,
Yours faithfully,
Diana Lipton
