Good afternoon, dear organizers. I was a participant in your cooking festival a year ago. I decided to write to you because your festival gave me the opportunity to become a famous chef in Russia.

However, I would like to offer you new ideas.

For example you can organize a festival not once a year but once every six months and you can also organize a competition of national dishes where people will prepare dishes of their own people. I think that would be great.

I think that many cooks will also like the special Cup of the chef which will be awarded to the winner of the competition as well as a cash prize of one million dollars. This can be a great addition to the festival.

You can also arrange a cooking parade where everyone will make an edible platform and provide it to others.

I hope my suggestions will be heard and you will give me an answer to this letter.
