Hello,

I need to make a reservation at your place for 3 persons going on holiday for 9 days starting from 14th till 23rd December 2019. I need to know your rates per night and the sum total for that period so we can arrange for payment. If you do not have availability at the time requested, Please let me know when you will have availability for 3 adults.
I await your quick reply.

Regards,
Bob.

Salut,

Je dois effectuer une réservation chez vous pour 3 personnes partant en vacances pendant 9 jours du 14 au 23 décembre 2019. J'ai besoin de connaître vos tarifs par nuit et le montant total pour cette période afin que nous puissions organiser le paiement. Si vous n'avez pas de disponibilité à l'heure demandée, s'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir quand vous aurez la disponibilité pour 3 adultes.
J'attends votre réponse rapide.

Cordialement,
Bob.

"Your place" covers every type of accommodation and is a scammer's give-away phrase, and which they so often use. I have never seen or heard it used in a genuine situation.

Indeed. All our genuine email enquires name the gite/s that they’re interested in renting.
