Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about your exclusive seminar hall that we are planning to reserve for an official event. We are expecting a few additional amenities in order to accommodate the event without any intervention and to make it a success.

We will organise the annual get-together party and I would like to know the availability of your seminar hall during the second week of next March. Our agenda will be a staff meet-up followed by an hour-long presentation and it would conclude with a grand dinner party. We would require a high-resolution LCD projector and a Wi-Fi connection facility for Laptops. The seating arrangement is expected to be for almost 100 people. We also require facilities for welcome drinks for guests and dinner for all of them.

I am curious to know about the rates to hire the hall for 6 hours, from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, with the list of facilities it offers. Additionally, please send me the menu for dinner including drinks. Also, mention the best possible concession you can offer and break down the expected expenses. We will not compromise the hygienic and food quality and we are expecting the party to be organised without any glaring issue from your end.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the availability of your party centre for an executive event. I work for the Robinsons & Brothers, and we are planning to organise an exclusive event on December 17, 2019. I would like to obtain some information to reserve the venue.

First, we are planning for an event where approximately 80 people would be present.

Some of our guests would bring their parents who are senior citizens and might be physically challenged. What arrangements do you have for such people? Please include some Thai and Chinese dishes on the lunch menu.

I would like to get a confirmation if the venue is available for the mentioned date and how much it would cost us to reserve it. You can send me the information, including the menu and details price list, via fax using the number 21-01-25412014 or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Model Answer 4:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inform you that we are considering your banquet hall for our annual dinner party that we are planning to organise at the end of October 2020. Therefore, I would like to obtain some information to finalise the process of reserving this venue.

First of all, please notify me of the availability of the venue as per our schedule. Can we avail of it on the evening of 28th or 29th October? I would also like to know about the service you offer including the dinner menu, power backup and decoration. As it is a prestigious event for our company, you should follow some decent theme for the decoration and provide a buffet menu. My recommendation is to use a professional interior decorator and use white flowers and colourful balloons for the decoration.

Finally, please forward me the estimated expenses that will incur to hire the venue and avail the services. Send it to my email address - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Previous experience with your company was outstanding but this time, I am expecting more innovative design and high quality of services.

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Rajesh K. I am writing to request some information to use your banquet hall for a get-together programme that we are planning to hold next month. I hope to get the details soon.

We have recently graduated from the same school in the year 2021, and want to meet and spend quality time by sharing the happiest moments that happened during the last 10 years. While surfing the internet, I found this banquet hall to be a suitable place to hold the party for around 50 members. It is also away from the city to spend time close to nature. We heard that this banquet hall is the busiest place with fewer available dates, so we are writing to reserve an available date next month, preferably during the 2nd week, for this occasion.

We would also like to spend time relaxing, playing games, swimming and enjoying food. I request you to provide the services available to make this gathering a memorable event for us. Please share the cost that is involved in using the services and amenities that I have mentioned.

I request this information no later than this weekend to finalise the plan from our end. Hope to get a speedy response from you.

Yours faithfully,

Rajesh K
