Dear Mr. Green,

Thank you for your letter of 16th February.

I was sorry to hear that you were unable to obtain halal food from the restaurant and that you had to eat out that night. You are quite right to say that the brochure states that we cater for our guests’ special diets.

Unfortunately, we were not informed of your requirements in advance and so were unable to meet them. I can assure you, however, that we will be able to provide halal food when you next come to us if you can give us three days’ notice.

As a sign of our concern, I would like to offer you a $25 voucher towards the cost of your next visit, and I hope we will have the pleasure of your custom again.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience you suffered.

Yours sincerely,
