PART 5: APPROPRIATE REGISTER
Read the formal letter. Then fill in the gaps using the most appropriate word(s). Use no more than two words. Do not use any words from the formal letter. LETTER FROM HOTEL TO CLIENT Dear Mr Canelli Thank you for your enquiry about the availability of accommodation and conference facilities during the last two weeks of October. We have one conference room, the Alexandra, available in that period. The Alexandra will accommodate from 30 to 50 delegates, depending on how many attend.. You can see a photograph of the room on page four of the enclosed brochure. Naturally, fax and telex services, as well as secretarial assistance and translation service, are available. I note from your letter that you expect 25 to 30 delegates to go to the meeting and will require an equivalent number of double rooms. We advice booking a higher number of rooms in case more decide to come than you expect. Since the hotel has 300 double rooms, all with twin beds, we can usually offer rooms on six to four weeks notice during the off-peak season. If less than four weeks' notice is given, difficulties may arise. For a group booking such as yours, we offer a business terms discount of 40 per cent of the total, excluding service charge and VAT, conditional on a minimum stay of five consecutive nights being booked. Yours faithfully Jim, Here's the hotel's answer. How does it (01)......... you?
