Example Letter

Dear Sir,

With reference to your advertisement in the April edition of the Wessex Times, I am writing to ask for further information regarding the Lynwood Outdoor Centre.

Firstly, I would appreciate it if you could give me a few details concerning the activities offered — for example, whether mountain bikes are available for hire, or if visitors are expected to provide their own. I would also like to know more about the type of area chosen for hiking, and whether a guide accompanies visitors on their hikes.

Furthermore, I would be grateful for information concerning other activities offered at the Centre in addition to those mentioned in your advertisement. With regard to charges, bookings and so on, I would naturally like to know the total cost of a visit to the centre, and whether visitors are charged by the day, or according to the activities they choose. Finally, could you tell me whether it is advisable to book beforehand?

I look forward to hearing from you in due course, at the address above or by telephone on 0181-313-9480. Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,
Michael Williams
