I was at your last party in November. There was some finger food passed in the room that night but no one came to where we were, so we never got any and by the time we were told there was none left, as it wasn't anywhere on your flyer so we didn't know we should keep an eye out for that. Next time you should definitely make sure that there is enough for everyone, it was super frustrating for us to hear about the good food but not get some. I would think that you should have thought of that!
Keep it in mind for next time!

Dear ####

I know it can be really frustrating when people point out grammatical errors or things of the sort in other people's texts, but couldn't help it and just had to rephrase some parts of the email, before passing it on to the rest of the organization.

Here is what I came up with:

I was at your last party in November. There was some home made finger food passed in the room that night, and although we unfortunately did not get any, we were pleasantly surprised that this was offered to the crowd, as it wasn't announced anywhere on your promotional material and was a nice surprise. Next time we'll make sure to keep an eye out, as we heard how good the food was so we really are looking forward to getting some. Thank you for thinking about it!
I'll keep in mind to pay attention next time!


I hope you forgive me for making those slight modifications to your text, it was done with the best intentions at heart and I suppose because ultimately, I'm grammatically a half glass full type of writer!

The nerve of you to have to run a shop, promote and host a party and NOT have time to spend a week in the kitchen to cater the event!

Well take it with a grain of salt. Sooooo many people just don't have a clue!

I know, I am a horrible person!

But don't worry, I am really not bothered or angered, more amused really. When you let yourself be affected by stuff like that, you're doing it to yourself really.

the awesomeness of your answer is unfortunately lessened by your spelling of "writer" :PPP
