Τhank you dear Megan for the super-fast actions!
Everything was fine! Milan suites is a very nice hotel!
Unfortunately, as you know, I gave my place to other colleague, and I stayed to another hotel, but the feedback I have got from my manager and colleagues was great!
Thank you so much for your support and looking forward to work with you again for our next booking in Frankfurt!
Best regards,

Dear Megan,
I hope you had a great weekend.
You were a big help to us for the last 4 years since I first contacted you regarding booking hotels for IDS.
If it weren't for your assistance, we would have had a hard time to make the show successful.
We went back and forth a lot and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
I appreciate our collaboration and getting to know you.
Hope you have a great day and start to the week.
With warmest regards,
Phillip

Dear Tom,
As usual, you helped us a lot to solve the changes in our bookings. It was an excellent job.
As for the Hotel Flandrischer Hof - it is a good hotel with normal services, biggest advantage is the little distance to the fair area.
