Dear [ ]
[The head of our Kiwanis Club] asked me who I thought might make a good luncheon speaker—someone who was quick on his feet, had a sense of humor, and could be counted on to inform, entertain, and, yes, even inspire with his message.
Naturally you came to mind. And we’re glad you have agreed to be our speaker.
Seriously, you would be addressing a particularly astute group of businesspeople who, while they enjoy an entertaining presentation, also demand something to take home with them. I think you will do a great job, and I could not be happier that you have agreed to come.
The time is noon sharp for lunch, followed by your presentation at [12:30 p.m.] The place is the [Flamingo Club on Dexter Avenue]. The compensation is, of course, absolutely nothing except my gratitude and appreciation.
I look forward to seeing you there, and thanks for agreeing to come.
Kindest regards,
