Dear Mr Slater

I am writing to say that, after having visited the site, my company is very interested in renting the office premises at 4 place Moulin. However, I would like be very grateful if you could give me some further information.

Firstly, would it be possible for you to tell me which companies share the site?

Could you also tell me how many floors there are in the building in total? We are only interested in renting a single floor of the building. Would this be possible?

You say the property is near two metro stations. Please can you tell me which they are? I would also like to know where the additional surface car-parking is exactly.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely
