Read the following message.

Dear Mr. Okafor,

I am writing to ask whether a reservation my family made a few months ago might still be moved to a later evening. We have booked the private dining room at The Cedar Table for my mother's eightieth birthday, but the date we first settled on no longer works for several of our relatives. At the moment we are holding the first Friday of October, though what we would now prefer, if the room is free, is the first Friday of November.
