SUBJECT: Some queries
DATE: August 30

My name is Derek Raymond, and I'm an employee at the Biological Research Center at the British Columbia Technology Institute (BCTI). Several members of our center recently won a prestigious science award. We plan to celebrate this momentous occasion with a banquet. We would like to book a space that is large enough for about 150 guests. If that's possible, we will be holding our event on September 27 at your hotel.
Also, some of my colleagues and I would like to stay the night. Please let me know if there are any rooms still available for that date. If so, I think eight single rooms would suit our requirements.
Regards,
Derek Raymond
