Hello (or Dear) Mr. Gordon,

I read on your web site that you offer Rental house for short-timed holidays. I’d like to inquire about the procedures involved in these services.

Is the payment sent via credit card or bank transfer? How long does it take you confirm the reservations?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I look forward to your response.
