Begin your letter as follows:

Dear…

Write at least 150 words.


Dear Manager,

My wife and I will soon be returning to your city, and would like to book a room in your hotel. We have stayed with you before and found the service to be excellent and the staff to be very friendly and approachable, and this made our last holiday all the more enjoyable that we thought we would come again.

We plan to get to the hotel in the early evening on the 14th of May, and would like to spend four nights with you, leaving early in the morning on the 18th to catch our flight home.

The last time we visited, we were lucky enough to see a street parade in the main town. Do you know if there are any other events happening over the period we will be staying? We would be interested in most anything, so if you know of any upcoming parade or similar, we’d love to know so we can plan accordingly.

Thanks and looking forward to visiting you again soon.

D and S Middleton
