name Subject: 'Business Today' event Dear Gloria, Thank for you letter informing me of the upcoming 'Business Today' event. I would like to confirm for you that I will attend. I am more than happy to be a speaker at the event and I would like to thank you for the great opportunity to do so. I do have a few questions regarding the speech that I will be giving. As to the topic I am fine making my own choice, but I would like to ask you if there are any specific topics or subjects that you would prefer that I talk about? I would also like to know how much time I will be alloted to speak? Will it be in a formal or an informal setting for the speech? I look forward to hearing from you regarding these details. I also would like to confirm that I will be able to attend the charity dinner as well. Thank you again for the opportunity and I look forward to seeing you at the conference. Much regards, ...name ...
