You operate a small catering firm specializing in sit-down dinner parties that you prepare and serve yourself with no helpers. A client of yours loves your food so much that she has asked you to cater her daughter's wedding reception for 300 people, to be held in her back yard. It's your first chance at a big event and you're not really set up for it. You don't have the equipment, you don't have the staff, and you don't have the connections to musicians; however, you're tempted. What would be your wisest decision?

A. Accept the job and use this chance to make all the contacts you need to expand your business.

B. Agree to make the food if the client will subcontract all the other services herself.

C. Turn down the job, explaining why you can't do it, and wish her luck finding someone else.

D. Turn the job down; however, give the client the name of a high-quality catering firm that can meet her needs.

According to the sources on the internet, Letter D is the best answer. It is best not to accept that important and heavy responsibility if it will be your first time doing it. It is better to start off with small and easy requests and gradually increasing the tasks as your experience grew also. Since you will be turning down the offer, it is also proper and polite to refer the client to other businesses that can cater her needs.
