Dear Reb X

Last shabbos I had the pleasure of being invited to your house by your wonderful wife for Shabbos dinner. Thank you ever so much for the delicious food and heilige atmosphere. However, my two (girl) friends and I were uncomfortable when neither you nor your sons made any attempt to greet us when we arrived nor made any contact with us throughout the meal. You did not say goodbye to us even though we made a point of saying thank you as we were leaving. In fact it felt like we were being deliberately ignored the entire evening. It made us feel unwelcome and and uncomfortable. I know that you do not engage in frivolous conversation with females or make eye contact with women outside of your family, however, a tiny acknowledgement of our existence would have made us feel accepted and appreciated as your guests.
