Dear Sir/Madam,
   I am writing with regard to your advertisement in "The Guardian" on the 10th
February. I would be grateful if you could send me further information about your
home exchange scheme. However I would appreciate it if you could clarify a few
questions I have.
   I am interested in visiting North Africa, particularly Tunisia, but I am only avail-
able from the 15th June to the 15th July. Do you think you may be able to find an
exchange in this area at such short notice?
   I have three small children so the house would need to include some facilities to
keep them occupied, for example a swimming pool.
   I would like to enquire exactly what type of house is required. I have a spacious
cottage with a large garden that is ideal for children. I would be more than glad to
send photographs and a more detailed description of our home if this would be of
assistance.
   I would also like to know if the flights must be booked through your organisa-
tion, or separately through a travel agent.
   Thank you for your kind attention. I would appreciate an answer at your earliest
convenience.
                           Yours faithfully,
                           Jill Thomson

   I want to know more about the free holiday advertisement you placed in the
Guardian newspaper on the 10th February. I'm really interested in your home ex-
change scheme and I would appreciate it if you could send me information. I also
have a few questions I'd like you to answer.
   I can only take a holiday 15th of June - 15th of July. Do you think I can do it
with my family of 5 (3 children aged 10, 8, 6)? The description of my house is it is
in the country, what sort of home is required? I live in a house in a small village
