and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful. Do you think this is suitable? I
also need to know if you make the travel arrangements or if I have to do this my-
self.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help and advice on this matter. I'm
looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

Dear Mrs Sorrento
I am replying to your advertisement in The Times on March11 for the farmhouse,
and there are a number of things I would like to ask.
I am interested in renting the farmhouse for the last two weeks of July for myself,
my wife and children aged 7 and 9. Could you let me know whether it would be
free then, how much it would cost, and what the price includes?
Could you also send me some more details about the farmhouse itself? It would be
useful to know exactly where it is, how many bedrooms it has, and whether the
pool is private, I would also be grateful if you could give me an idea of what sort
of activities we could organise for the children.
Finally, I would be grateful if you could let me know if there is a local airport and
whether it is possible to hire a car there. If not, could you tell me whether it would
be easier for us to fly to Rome or to Naples?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
