I wanted to write to you to say thank you for entertaining at our fundraising ball.

I thought your comedy sketch was fantastic and really helped to liven up the room after the main auction.

We wouldn't hesitate to invite you back in the future and would of course recommend you to anyone looking for a comedy act to support their event.
