"Dear Mr Lander,
Thank you for your email and I am delighted your guest is considering staying at The Grove.

How could I say no?
Message to The Grove, Chandler's Cross
"Dear ***,
Thank you
most kindly for your fast response. I can confirm that the President would most
likely be visiting on the 11th of December which is a Friday; if we were able
to start from there I would be most grateful.
I hate to
sound like a pawn in his game but his reasons for going through me are
hopefully fairly obvious by now. His stay could possibly enhance the reputation
of your establishment and he will be happy to pose for a photo for your
wall.
I'm
certain he will endure a good 'knight' with you all from the images on your
website!
Kind
regards,
T.
Lander, esq."
They were under no illusions. They've clearly dealt with this before. Pros.

from Thursday 17thDecember for much longer duration. Please may you
advise how long the guest is looking to stay with us here at the hotel and I
will be delighted to confirm the prices.

The thought of finding out prices made my fingers prick up.
Message to The Grove, Chandler's Cross
“Dear ***,
That is
fantastic news. He is looking at one night only and it would be handy to know
if you have room for his transport, Ground Force One. It's only a Hummer H2 but
will require two parking spaces in my honest opinion.
Kind
regards,
T.
Lander, esq.”
Message from The Grove, Chandler's Cross
“Dear Mr
Lander,
We will
certainly have plenty of space for the transport for the guest. Additionally we
can also offer the Presidential Suite at the rate of [£BASICALLY A FOUR FIGURE
SUM] per night inclusive of breakfast and vat.
Please do
let me know if you would like to proceed with the reservation or if I can
provide any further information and I will be more than happy to assist.
Kind
regards,

They forced my hand at this point and I had to back down. Gutted. It's a good job I'm not one of those people who feels bad and goes through with the transaction to save face, though.
Message to The Grove, Chandler's Cross
“Dear ***,
Many thanks for the details. I shall pass the information on to the president of the chess club and get back to you should we wish to proceed.
Once again I would like to thank you for your professional and timely assistance.
Kind regards,
T. Lander, esq.”
Well played, The Grove. How do I follow that?
Message to The Merchant Hotel, Belfast
"Dear Sir/Madam/proprietary type,
I am loathe to enquire due to the nature of the artifact but it appears my wife and I may have left something in our room last weekend. Unfortunately I don't remember the room number, however the offending article would be obvious were it handed in.
It is very personal to us and I would very much like to have it back if possible. It is long, has a generous girth and is a pink/purple hue. Should it not have been handed in I would not recommend touching the item without gloves as it may not be completely hygienic.
I apologise in advance but hope you can help with the return of our item.
Kind regards,
T. Lander, esq."
