We have received your concerns about the cafeteria meals. To address this, the school will increase the number of fried snacks and sugary drinks because they are popular among students. We believe this will improve satisfaction.
We would like to invite you to a brief meeting on 30 October at 3 pm to discuss further.

Dear Mr. Oladipo,
Thank you for writing to us about your concerns regarding the nutritional quality of the meals served in our cafeteria. We share your commitment to providing healthy food for our students and appreciate your feedback.
In response, the school has commissioned a qualified nutritionist to review our current menu. Starting next month we will increase the proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables, replace sugary drinks with water and natural juices, and introduce a weekly "Healthy Choice" lunch that meets the national dietary guidelines. We are also training kitchen staff in healthier cooking methods.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss these initiatives further and hear any additional suggestions you may have. Could you attend a meeting on either 22 or 24 October at 4 pm? Please let us know which date suits you best.
Yours sincerely,
