You are organising a trip for a group of 4 friends. You have found some accommodation
which you quite like.

Write to the manager of the accommodation. In the letter:

explain when you want to visit the accommodation

tell the manager the reason for your visit
ask about the facilities of the accommodation
 
Write at least 150 words. 
You should begin your letter Dear Sir / Madam, 
 
Dear Sir / Madam,  
 
I recently ​came across y​ our hotel on the Internet and I wanted to write since I have 
some questions before I make the booking.  
 
I would be i​ nterested in making a booking​ the first week of May next year, ideally 
from the 2nd to 7th May. The booking would be 5 people, 3 single people and one 
couple. Do you have availability during that time? 
 
The reason I chose your hotel was because it f​ its our requirements​ very well. We are 
looking to celebrate my friend’s birthday with some outdoor activities - walking, lake 
swimming and some mountain climbing. Your hotel seems perfectly located for these 
activities.  
 
That leads me on to​ my questions about the accommodation. Firstly, as we will be 
coming back quite w ​ et and muddy​, do you have a drying room and place to store wet 
clothes? Secondly, after a long day being active, I was hoping for some sort of 
relaxation area at the hotel. Do you happen to have this available? 
 
Please let me know about the availability and also whether you have those things I 
have asked about. 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
Tim G
