Hello,

I will like to rent this house for 15 days for friends who will come there for honeymoon its my gift to them since i cannot attend their wedding. 14th march 2009 to 28th march 2009 is the suggested time frame advice. However,i have a Certified Bank cashier check made out for this, that will cover your rental services, and the remaining after you deduct your fees and send the balance to a travel agent, who will make arrangements for Flight tickets, car hire, a guide and other services for the couple.
So I will like you to furnish me with the followings:

(1)The total cost of the reservation for the 15 days
(2) YOUR FULL NAME (name on cheque )
(3)ADDRESS (for cheque delivery)
(4) PHONE NUMBERS.

The guests names are Jessica and Ricardo Martinez. there address is 12 London Rd ,Ashford. Middx. TW15 3AA ,UK. I think they will meet all your criteria, no pets, no smoking and all, if such rules exist. Its a suprise remember, I think the information given here so far is sufficient. I await your reply with the check payment details.

Regards
John Homes
