Hi,

I’m going to New York next week on a business trip, so I would like you to make all the
arrangements for me. I want to leave early next Monday and come back on Saturday evening.
Can you do the following things for me?

• Book the flight (from Bs As). Try to find the cheapest flight you can. The airline isn’t

important.

• Book the hotel. My meetings will be Midtown near Central Park. Don’t pay too much.

• Find a nice restaurant for Tuesday night. I want to take two clients out to dinner. A

restaurant near Broadway Avenue would be great. Please let me know about the

restaurant before the trip.

• I also want you to book 3 tickets (the clients and I) for a show on Wednesday night. A

musical would be perfect. Let me know what it is about.

Send me an email with all the information. Thanks a lot for all your help.

Regards,
