Hello,

I am happy to let you know that we have decided to use your restaurant for the dinner meal during this period. Please note the outline below;

Date: 10th to 12th May, 2011
Time: 7pm Daily
Activity: Dinner Meal
Invoiced to: Mr. Pedro Gomez
No. of Guests: 30
Total Amount: €2250

I will prepay you directly with a bank cheque but before I do so, I want to make a humble request. I have contacted a tour operator to make arrangement for the flight tickets, travel insurance and airport transfer of the guests. I have already concluded arrangement with him pending the receipt of his funds in the amount of €6500 and am not able to pay him directly because he does not accept a cheque. Unfortunately, am not able to make bank transfer to neither him nor you due to my present sailing location.
On this note, I have resolved to issue you with a cheque for a total amount of €8750.
On receiving the cheque, deposit it in your account for clearance. When you have the funds cleared in your account, deduct and keep your booking cost of €2250 and proceed to send the amount of €6500 to the tour operator via a swift bank transfer. I will provide you with the operator's bank details.

Kindly confirm this arrangement and get back to me with your NAME (as it will appear in the cheque) ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for payment.
