Posted on February 10, 2009 by gomerjones

Season Greetings to you,

Thanks for your reply. I am glad to tell you that cost and conditions are acceptable by the delegates and as such willing to make a deposit payment immediately. Due to there acceptance and willingness to stay in your facility, I have concluded payment with them also.

A credit card detail would be sent to you when I receive your confirmatory mail so that you would charge, a part payment of 50% deposit as agreed/authorized by the delegates. This is to enable you secure the rooms for the period of time they would want to stay in your facility .

Furthermore, I have been instructed to pay for your accommodation, car hiring, other necessary travel arrangements and provision of a language translator whom would be able to translate every language word to them because they are Greeks. I have arranged this with a linguist who is willing to undertake these responsibilities on there behalf. He would be with them throughout the stay with you. He would also hire a coaster bus for there movement in and around your city.

Sequel to this, once you receive the credit card details, you would be authorized to charge a total of 5,800euros from plus your 50% for your services and send the balance of 5,800euros to the translator to enable her take care of some of our other travel logistics and also hire a Costar bus for them to easy their movement on time.

You are advised to charge the credit card because the instructor does not have a credit card charging facility to put through these charge on the credit card. His account does not support it.

Owing to this, please confirm this directives and provide me with your
(1) YOUR FULL NAME

I also hope the stay of the delegates will be made comfortable.
Here is the name of the delegates;
