Subject: Request for group rental information

Hello Daneston Gear Company (DGC),

I am the president of an activities club. This month, our 30 members intend to take a day trip
to Daneston to go boating on the lake. Could you please send me information regarding your
rates and offerings? We are most interested in renting boats that seat one person. Some time
ago, I rented a kayak for myself from DGC, but this will be my first time renting from DGC
for a group.

Thank you,
Tanya Jefferson
