Hi Melissa,

How´s it going? I´ve just had an email from the travel club. Seemingly, they want me to suggest some ideas to find a solution so the environment is respected by both staff and guests in the hotel.

I was considering showing some colourful posters on each floor and even in the lifts. Don´t you think it´s a good idea?

See you soon.

Take care,

Maria

Finally, given the previous information, I would kindly suggest considering my ideas.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
