1120 London Road

Dear Ms Weasly,

Further to our recent telephone conversation, I am writing to confirm that I wish to make a reservation for the Hilton's Hotel from 12 to 20 February.
There will be four people in our meeting and we will requiere two twin rooms in total. I would be gratefull it you could give us rooms on the same floor.

On the telephone, you mentiened that the menu was based on meat, would it be possible to change the menu for a vegetarian friend.

I am enclosing a cheque for U$12.000 as a deposit. Please could you confirm the total amount due? Would you mind sending me a leaflet of the Hotel if you have one? Could you send it by e-mail?

I look forward to hearing from you in a week

Yours sincerely,
