C Read the email and find the parts that contain the information from the four notes. Are they all in the same paragraph?
Dear Ms Papadaki,
We are writing to enquire about the four-day Greek Island cruise your company is offering. My family and I are interested in going on this cruise, but we were wondering if you could answer a few of our queries first.
(1) First, your advertisement states that we will visit four Greek islands. Could you please let us know which ones? We are particularly interested in visiting Santorini and were wondering if this is one of the islands we will be visiting. Could you (2) also let us know which archaeological sites we will visit and if you offer free guided tours?
(3) Regarding dates, my family and I are interested in travelling in the first week of July. Could we ask if you have a cruise that week? If so, please let us know the exact dates.
(4) Finally, in your advertisement you mention that you have special discount rates. Would you mind telling us what these rates are exactly?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Emily and Giuseppe Conti
