Your company is going to hold a conference at the end of the year and it is your job to find out more about conference centres. Write an email to one venue:

- Tell them how you heard about the conference centre

- Check availability on the days you require.

- Tell them how many rooms you need and people you expect

 

You should write 50 - 60 words in the space provided.

 

Dear Madam,

I saw your conference centre advertised at Best Conference and Trade Fair Monthly and would like to ask for some more details before I will decide whether to book it for the month after next month.

At first, do you have two rooms available from 25th to 27th inclusive? We are expecting at least 200 attendee, so both rooms will need to be quite large.

I look forward to the reply.

Sincerely yours:

Mr Alex Case

Do the same with this email.

Dear Sirs/ Madams,

I am writing to you. Because we are considering having a stand at the National Beer Fair in London in this May.

Could you give us an estimate of how much does a booth of fifty five square metres would cost?

We also like to know when we need to make a final reservation by, and also when we would need to make fully or partial payment.

Thanks in advance for you’re assistance.

Your,

Donaldson

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I saw your conference centre advertised in Best Conference and Trade Fair Monthly and would like to ask for some more details before I decide whether to book it for the month after next.

First of all, do you have two rooms available from 25th to 27th inclusive? We are expecting at least 200 attendees, so both rooms will need to be quite large.

I look forward to your reply.
