Subject: Details and instructions for Lucys Ritz Party


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.

Lucys 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 Lucys 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> hehehe

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

Lucy

Dear Lucy,

Apologies for emailing on a private email address but I am currently on
holiday in Barbados and refusing to access my Citigroup emails. However,
I have had your email forwarded to me by one of my senior colleagues
about your party this Friday. Unfortunately I will not be able to make
it as:

1. I always wear jeans and a t-shirt on the weekend (no exceptions) 2.
The ritz is SO last season. 3. I would rather not have to waste time
buying you a card and present, which you probably wouldnt need anyway
4. Your PA has advised me that most people wont be turning up so I
wont miss much 5. Like most people, Im not very good at sticking to
arrival times and would probably miss my slot.

On a serious note, based on your email, I am quite dumbfounded with how
you managed to get a job here with us this summer and i will be having
some SERIOUS words with the person who interviewed you. The fact that
you have obviously spent a lot of our Work Time, planning your
birthday party and not doing the work we have given you is a clear
indication that you are not taking this internship seriously and are not
dedicated to the firm. I do not think we will be in a position to offer
you a full time graduate placement following the internship.

Kind regards,

David Townsend
Executive Director,
Global FI Trading Floor

lol cracker there Wonder if her mobile number is really that lol!!

Give her a bell mate

I think everyone in the whole world has been fwded that

lol, read that / about it in the daily mail this morning

its probably all fake. someone crash to see

nah the bosses reply is almost certainly fake - they dont have "executive directors" at city group - tis analyst,associate, VP, director, MD etc... IIRC

though the original email & the first couple of forwards are all from citi group email addys

and this is allegedly the girl in question:

Since Serious isnt around to do it, I suppose I will.  They all look like a bunch of bankers to me.


I can hear the groans from here.

everytime i hear a sh*t joke, i want to stab someone to death.

Its a good job they only trust you with plastic knives.

That is a bit unusual for a 21st, champagne reception? Most 21 year olds were tipping as much beer as they could into themselves in some arsehole place with their mates... or out for a meal then the beer.

Photos? Nobby hotel reception, email invites? Its all a bit sad but hey, if they enjoy themselves good on them.

Cheers
Tongy

on my 21st I ended up asleep in the bushes outside the pub  

my 21st I went to pizza express in sheffield with a group of mates then on to bed nightclub & had one too many dirty pints etc.. - was ill for 2 days after with alcohol poisoning & ripped my suit trousers on the walk home that I cant remember.

And what was the dress code? Did the candle-blowing go without a hitch? Did the guests adhere to their allotted times?

I was given a mucky pint too, I too felt like crap for days. Words cantdescribe the colour of it, but when people put galliano, baileys, creme de menthe, whisky and all manner of other things, its never going to be pretty.

Cheers
Tongy
