Dear Mr Eric Tan,
I am writing this letter as a note of appreciation for the good service I received at your restaurant recently. I was at the Plum Blossom Restaurant with my family on 20th June. 1. were fortunate to experience the great service that 2. restaurant is well known for. The dishes were served promptly. More importantly, Ms Shirley Teo and her team provided excellent service. 3. were very attentive and Ms Teo 4. ensured that we were well taken care of. 5. was never flustered even when the restaurant became more crowded.
The dish 6. we liked best was the Peking Duck. 7. is the best I have ever eaten. The duck was succulent and tender. 8. would give it five stars!

Yours sincerely,
Mrs Jamie Lee
