Thanks for your response , A friend actually directed me to your website .The event is on the 24th of october and you will be attending for 40 guest.The event will begin by 12pm till 7pm ..
The menu would be salmon, chicken fajitas, pull pork. Sides-Caprese pasta salad, and citrus slaw. will also want desserts but will like you to make a suggestion suitable for the event .. I don't think there is anyone with allergy coming to the party .The party is going to take place in my uncles home ,though is a surprise birthday party and will forward the address to you when is time .My budget is within $2000 to $5000.You will be providing the plate wares ,silver wares ,linen and other things needed for your service and i want it in a buffet style .
I want you to get back to me with an estimate for the job so i can proceed with payment of deposit to have you booked for that day ,because am currently out on a business trip and will be back in a week before the event but want to make all preparation set ,i am responsible for the foods and drink for the day and some other things and want to get everything in place.my cell is (256) 392-6059,you can call or text me if you have any question .
Please get back to me with the total estimate of your service and get back to me.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
