Ex. 3

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am planning to go on the seven – day tour of Marrakech advertised in your brochure. I hope you will be able to answer a few questions for me.

Firstly, could I please book a single room? I am coming on the tour alone and I would not like to share a hotel room with another person. Secondly, I would like you to tell me which two meals the price includes. Will we have breakfast and lunch in the hotel and pay for our own dinner? Thirdly, I hope the local guides speak English. I am afraid I cannot speak any foreign languages. Finally, could you also tell me how much the excursion package will cost?

I look forward to hearing from you at easiest convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Rebecca Burns
