[Kent Shrimper]

This is an email which is currently doing the rounds, you gotta love em



Dear Friends,

Thank you for all your replies and I am glad all of you can come this
Friday to celebrate my 21st with me.
Please read ALL the following to ensure your entry into the Ritz.

Lucy's 21st Birthday Party
at The Ritz Hotel London

Friday, 18th of August
9pm Champagne Reception
10pm Photo Shoots
10:30pm Blowing Candles

Mid-night Pangaea, Mayfair


I have arranged the Ritz to host a Champagne Reception with a selection
of Ritz Champagne for all my guests, this will be on me so please come
and indulge.

A specially made birthday cake has also been ordered and the Ritz
waiters will kindly serve you each a generous slice with Ritz cutleries,
etc...also on me.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTRY:
* When you arrive, take the Hotel entry on the opposite side of
the Green Park tube station [Please refer to your arrival time at the
end of this email]
* When asked "how can I help you Sir/Madame?", you reply "I am
here for Lucy's Birthday Party at the Rivoli Bar"
* You will be escorted to the lounge area next to the Rivoli bar,
where you will hopefully see a gorgeous group of ladies.

If you experience any issues getting in or getting to the Ritz, please
call my mobile on 07782 205 450 and my PA Ms Gill will kindly deal with
your queries between 8:30pm to 10pm.

STRICT DRESS CODE:
Gentlemen: Jacket, shirt, and please also bring a tie (no jeans,
trainers, flip-flops, polo-shirts)
Ladies: skirt/top, cocktail dress (no denim, min-skirts, flip-flips, bad
tastes)
Advice 1: It goes without saying that the more upper-class you dress,
the less likely you shall be denied entry.
Advice 2: Photos will be taken between 10pm to 10:30pm, and these will
be distributed once processed, therefore you may want to be
well-groomed! ;)

Finally...
I will be accepting cards and small gifts between 9pm to 11pm...<wink
wink> hehehe

I very much look forward to seeing you all at the Ritz this Friday.

Lucy

I wonder who got hold of this?

I wonder how many turned up  

Makes you wonder.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Too bad it was last Friday

 

[Smiffy]

Haha, someone e-mail Lucy asking if she enjoyed her party..

 

[KrustyTheKray]

Do you reckon we should email her to tell her to stop being so pompous and stuck up her own wotsit!!!

 

[MrB]

Basically she accidentally sent it to the whole of Citibank, another one like the 'yum' email from last year.

...although, to be fair, not quite so embarrassing...

Hi Lucy

Well, I turned up at the Ritz as instructed in you original email but the pompous *** of a doorman refused to park my moped! Please have a word on your next visit. My aplogies for not actually getting through the doors but I think the consierge took humbridge at my Burberry baseball cap - some people really do have no taste wouldn't you say?

I'll be sure to get suitably blinged up next year.

Regards


I can be such an *** when provoked

Here's a response that one of the interns at Dresdner decided to send to her - quality!!

Hi there,

The Interns at Dresdner Kleinwort were recently forwarded an email regarding your 21st birthday celebrations. We would like to extend our congratulations to you upon reaching this milestone age. Did you get any lovely gifts?

I have been thinking about organising a function at the Ritz myself as I will be 22 in the near future. I was wondering if you could inform me of your opinions as to the levels of service and quality of your experience at the Ritz. Was it a good night? Also do you have any photos of the event?

How was the Ritz champagne and cake? I imagine it is expensive so I would have thought it would be of the highest quality? Also how strict is the dress code? Was anyone refused entry for not being upper class enough?

I am also somewhat confused by the different arrival times. Is this a requirement of the Ritz that large groups must be split up to arrive at different times for private functions such as your birthday? Or is this merely some sort of ranking system of your friends and acquaintances?

My final question pertains to the Ritz cutlery... I bet this is some top shelf quality cutlery, yes? I was wondering how easy you think it'd be to steal a few sets as I'd love to have some in my flat... While I'd like to think I'm very upper class, I'm actually a right pikey!

Regards

Hehehehehe... that is a quality line. Cuts like a knife...

did you go Lord Walker? or did you get your manservant to RSVP for you?

NFI.... NEFC, in fact.

Sadly, the days when 21-year old females invited me to their parties passed many moons ago. About 11 years ago, give or take.

Besides, I'm far too posh for the Ritz. Why go there when I can go to one of my country estates instead...?
