MITSFS Picnicomm}

\opening{Dear Harry,}
	Hello!, and greetings from the MITSFS, those desirous of fine
sunshine and wonderful Blue Hills!

	Apologies for taking so long in getting around to writing you;
I spoke to you briefly at Arisia about picnic planning...

	Anyway, as usual we'd like you to pick the date for the Annual
Picnic. May the 7th and 14th look good, though the 30th of April could
also work.

	As this is such an important and momentous occasion, the
Society is anxiously awaiting your consideration and decision.  We
know that we can count on you to select an appropriate day based on
the criteria we hold so dear, viz. Weather, Weather, and
not-to-forget-the-most-important, Weather.
\closing{Yours, respectfully awaiting reply,}
\end{letter}
