I'm due to open my group accommodation in March and have just received this enquiry:
Hello,
We need lodging accomodation in your hotels for period
of ten days for Ten Christians Women delegates in your
country. The arrival date will be 30th March and
departure will be 10th April 2007. Please if the
desire dates are available please kindly get back to
me with total cost of the reservation including
feedings. We're paying with euro currency so kindly state its equivalent.
I would like the owner or Managing Director to mail me back.
thanks
Pastor John King
I replied (very politely, course!) to say that we are not a hotel but can send them menus of local restaurants, prices etc and any further information that they need. He then got back with:
Hmmm, I'm not too sure what to think - our website is still in the process of construction and there aren't many photos. I'm not sure I would send money to someone without even seeing the place first - but what could be 'in it' for them?Hello,
Thanks for your reply and assistance so far. I am glad to tell you that European Certified Cheque of 8,000 euro shall be issued, for the hotel services for the summit.
I have now been instructed to send you the cheque, which will cover the cost of accommodation and all the necessary arrangement for the delegates. Moreover, .So you are required to deduct the cost of your services 2,190 euro for delegates and keep the balance of 5,810 euro for the delegates. The balance will be use for any other things they desire to have or purchase in your hotel during their stay.
So confirm this and provide me with your (1) YOUR FULL NAME (2) ADDRESS ( 3 ) PHONE NUMBERS, for payment to be delivered to you via courier.
Please remember that the integrity of our organisation is involved, so this business requires prompt response. I also hope the stay of the delegates will be made comfortable.
Thanks.
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!
Many thanks in advance,
Anna
