Formal version of Sami's email:
Dear Mr Ross,
I hope this email finds you well. I am considering doing something different this summer, and I would like to enquire about your adventure holiday options, specifically the 'Mountain Biking from Coast to Coast' and 'Survival'.
Subject: Enquiry About Summer Adventure Holiday Options
Dear Mr. Ross,
I hope this message finds you well. I am planning to try something new this summer and would like to enquire about your adventure holiday options, specifically the “Mountain Biking from Coast to Coast” and “Survival Skills on the Isle of Skye” experiences. I would be grateful if you could provide further details to help me decide between the two.
Regarding the mountain biking trip, I enjoy cycling; however, I am slightly concerned about my fitness level. Could you please inform me of the average distance participants are expected to cover each day, and whether the route involves many steep inclines?
With regard to the survival skills experience, I would also like to know how many participants are typically placed in each group.
Finally, as I am passionate about music, I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether it would be possible to bring and play my trumpet during the trip.
I would be grateful if you could respond at your earliest convenience, as I hope to finalise my holiday plans soon.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
