Письмо--запрос в бюро путешествий

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am visiting my distant family in France this winter and I am interested in going skiing in Chamonix resort in the French Alps for a period of five days. However, I have a few questions I would like to ask you.

First, when does the resort open for skiing? I am planning to be in France in the second half of February. Secondly, do you have slopes for snowboarding? I am a snow fanatic and I would like to try snowboarding if that is at all possible. Thirdly, what is the weather like in the middle of February? I have heard it gets very cold in the Alps and visitors are in constant danger from avalanches and ice falls in the mountains.

Another question I have is about a place to stay. If it is possible, I would prefer staying in the Hotel du Mont Blanc. However, could you recommend some other reasonably -- priced accomodations, please? I will be travelling with two of my university friends and we could share a room.

Other questions I have are about prices. How much are the lift tickets and are there any reduced prices for students? Finally, I would like to know how much does it cost to go by train from Paris to Chamonix resort? Could you possibly send me your brochure, please?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Brad Pitt

Письмо--запрос редактору мужского журнала 'Playboy'

Dear Mr. Hefner,

I am writing to you about the article in last month’s edition of Playboy magazine. The article was about Pamela Anderson’s career in men’s magazines and her raising money for Waves оf Water charity project to improve fresh water supply in poor countries. I study fashion at local university and I do a part-time job as a model at local modelling agency. At the moment, I am working on my final report about celebrities’ collecting money for charity and I would like to ask you some questions with reference to the article.

First, it is not clear in the article if Asian countries have already received Pamela’s contribution. Could you possibly provide exact statistics which countries have already improved water supply facilities?
Secondly, it is said in the article that Pamela had to be very fit and slim for her job. They also added she was actually almost fifteen kilos underweight. I would be grateful if you could tell me Pamela’s exact weight when she started in modelling business. Thirdly, if it is possible, I would prefer to know which fashion designers Pamela worked during the last year‘s shows in Paris. It was mentioned in the article, there were two of them.

Something else I would like to ask about is a message in the article for those models who like the idea to try themselves in men’s magazine. I am very interested in trial session at Playboy’s photo studio as I would like to try working with photographers. I would be grateful if you could tell me the details and possible dates to come. Finally, as I combine studying and working, I would also like to know the terms of possible contract with Playboy Enterprises Ltd.

I thank you for your time in advance and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Svetlana Ponomariova (Ms.)
