Faithful information in a formal message

A fictional source says that a Friday visit now starts at ten instead of nine and asks visitors to bring identification. The learner must send an Estonian message to an adult host and ask whether the new time is possible. A draft preserves the old time, omits identification and invents a free lunch. It also switches without explanation between informal and polite address. The task requires faithful information, a coherent register and a clear request, not a universal official word count. The source describes conditions for this invented visit only and establishes no general legal rule about identification. A recipient should be able to act from the Estonian message without reconstructing the old version or relying on benefits the writer has imagined.

Lugupeetud proua Saar! Reedene külastus algab nüüd kell kümme, mitte kell üheksa. Palun võtke kaasa isikut tõendav dokument. Kas uus aeg sobib Teile? Lugupidamisega. This preserves the actual conditions without inventing extra services.
