Dear dr. Spieker,

I wanted to write and personally thank you for your kind effort in helping to tend to take care one of our ................ at our restaurants in her time of need.

Briana Hilton, the woman you helped resuscitate on Monday, gave me your name and address when I spoke to her on the phone on today. She is now ................... in the hospital and is almost ready to be released.

Please bring your family in for a complimentary meal at your earliest convenience so .................. I may thank you in person.
