Passage 2: 

To: Cathy Chang
From: Georgette Blanc
Subject: Banquet plans

Dear Ms. Chang,

I saw you hotel’s ad in the May 23 issue of the Business Gazette. I am planning the annual employee appreciation banquet for my company, Agrix International, and am interested in the possibility of hosting it at the Hotel Grandiflor.

Our banquet is scheduled for the evening of July 15. We only plan to have half the number of guests mentioned in you ad, so I am sure you can accommodate our numbers. I think a five-course dinner would be too much, but I am interested in discussing with you the other two meal options. Mostly I am concerned about having both vegetarian and meat choices available for our guests.

I am also interested in your professional assistance in  planning other aspects of the evening. We would need seating arrangements that are conductive to conversation but that will also accommodate the awards ceremony that is the main focus on the evening. We also would like to have dancing after the meal and would appreciate your assistance in selecting a suitable and affordable band.

Please call me or my assistant, Robert de Luc at 656 555 0987 to discuss arrangements and costs.
