Så blev hon Londons skämt

Lucy Gao, praktikant på Citigroup i London, fyllde nyligen 21 år. Något hon skulle fira med en tillställning på Ritz. Föga anade hon att hennes snobbiga inbjudan, fylld med tramsiga pekpinnar, skulle bli ett skämt runt omkring i hela världen samt ge plats på ledarsidan i Financial Times. Läs och skratta du med.

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.

Lucy’s 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

* When asked ”how can I help you Sir/Madame?”, you reply ”I am

here for Lucy’s 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

wink> hehehe

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

Lucy

Stupid….

Poor intern…

If you haven’t seen this one before…

Read from the bottom and enjoy!

This is hilarious- read the invite at the bottom (it’s from a citi

intern)!

Oh my god! Read from the bottom! Its gone not only to EVERYONE in citi

but i’ve just been told by my boss its gone all over the banks and

they’re all laughing about it.

Hi all, for your reading pleasure…please start at the bottom, it’s

hilarious!!

As previously discussed…. maybe we need to revisit the intern

selection criteria, I think the emphasis on control may be too high!

Please read below when you get 5 mins

”It goes without saying that the more upper-class you dress, the less

likely you shall be denied entry.”…!!

it also goes without saying that the more i read of that, the less

likely i am to contain my mirth

You have to read this…..from the intern working on the property team –

I can hardly contain myself!

.. I don’t like to spread things… I feel quite bad really – but you

just HAVE to read this….

Cathy, do you know this girl below…Lucy? Think she is in research.

This is outrageous, read the invite!!!!!!!!!

Details and instructions for Lucy’s Ritz Party

her best yet………..enjoy

Enjoy

Regardless of the fact that we haven’t been invited, pangea still seems

to be the plan for tonight though.
