Subject: Venue Reservation

Dear Mr. Malik,

After weighing our options, we found the SXM Convention Center to be the most suitable venue for our new product launch. On behalf of KPL Manufacturing Corporation, I would like to place a reservation for your building on September 30.

We would need your concert hall where we can hold various activities. In addition to the concert hall, we would also be utilizing the catering area.

As a final request, we would highly appreciate receiving a copy of the venue’s terms and conditions in two days.

Please get in touch with us for clarifications. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!

Sincerely,
