Hello,
I am happy to let you know that we have decieded to rent your bicycle during this hoilday period. Please note the outline below;
Date: 5th to 9th December, 2011
Time: 10am
Activity: Bicycle Trip
Invoiced to: Mr. Frederick Williams
No. of Bikes: 25
Total Amount : 225,000 HUF
I will prepay you directly with a bank check but before I do so, I want to make a humble request. I have contacted a logistic operator to make arrangements for the guests´ air flight tickets and hotel accommodation. I have already concluded arrangement with him pending the receipt of his funds in the amount of 2,000,000 HUF and am not able to pay him directly because he does not accept bank check. 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 bank check for a total amount of 2,225,000 HUF.
On recieving the check, deposit it in your account for clearance. When you have the funds cleared in your account, deduct and keep your booking cost of 225,000 HUF and proceed to send the amount of 2,000,000 HUF to the logistic 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, ADDRESS(as it will appear in the check) and PHONE NUMBER for payment.
Regards,
Frederick Williams
