Writing the first letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to book a double room for the month of August 2002.
I need an air-conditioned room with bath and shower which faces the sea.
I should be grateful if you would confirm my booking as soon as possible.
Please give me an indication of your rates per night including full board.
Should you have no vacancies please could you give me the address of a suitable hotel in your area?
Yours faithfully,
Jennifer O'Brian
