Greetings, Jose

You have finally thought thought about booking a hotel in Australia for the meeting. Write an email to the hotel stating your requirements and asking for further information

120-150 words. You have 20 minutes.

Dear Mr or Ms,

The reason I am writing this email is because I am interested in reserving a room in your hotel.

I would like to know if it is available from next week and the price of it. I would be grateful if you could tell me more information about the rooms and their equipment because I will be there for a long time due to my work. I wonder if there is wifi, a minibar, and a desk. I have to work on my computer.

Moreover, I would also like to know if the restaurant has gluten-free food because I am celiac.

Finally, I would appreciate it if you could send me further information about fully-equipped meeting rooms because I have to meet with a customer and it could be a good place.

Thanking you for your help in this matter.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours sincerely, Jose.
