This is to confirm the arrangements we discussed over the phone today. Enclosed are your airline tickets for the Springfield Airlines, flight number 123, leaving Springfield at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, 2019, arriving in Centerville at 5:45 p.m. Jane Doe will meet you at the airport. She will be wearing a blue name tag. As you requested, I left the return flight open to allow you some flexibility in your stay in Centerville.

I reserved a room with a king-size bed at the Springfield Hotel for three nights. I'm sorry, but there were no rooms available with a mountain view. I assure you, however, that the view is spectacular from any window in the hotel. The hotel has ten lighted tennis courts, so be sure to bring your racket.

I hope these arrangements meet with your approval. If you need anything else, please call me at 555-5555. I look forward to your arrival.
