Dear Sir/Ma,

It's my pleasure reading your home on the web as
rental. Kindly let me know if an offer of 3weeks will
be available. I received an enquiry letter by my
client Mr/Mrs.Larry Emma,for their holiday honey-moon.

Unfortunately the dates he chosed were fully
booked in my Inn. He plead with me to assist him in
getting accomodation for their holiday honey-moon,
accordingly he will be needing double room okay.

He would be coming along side with her wife on
the 15th of january,through 5th of febuary 2006. I
want to know if the dates is available for the booking
and price per day, so that i can know the total cost
for their stay. Kindly give in detail's,term and
condition of your rental.


Regards.
