Thank you very much for your help. Could you please take a quick look at the corrected letter? Are phrases and vocabulary good enough or I need to correct something? Thank you.

Dear Mr. Green,

I am writing in reply to your letter of 16th June, in which you informed me that I had won the first prize in the competition for students of English. I would like to give you the requested information and enquire about my trip to London.

I am glad to know that my story has been awarded the first prize and this trip is a really good opportunity for me to learn something new about Britain.

I would like to arrive in London on 25th June. I would be very grateful if you could make arrangements for renting a car, as I am planning to visit some historical places outside London. I would also like to go on the sightseeing tour.

Could you please give some more details about the trip? Would I be picked up from the airport or I will have to use the public transport? I would also like to know the address of the hotel and if I have to eat the meals at the hotel or somewhere else?

I can be contacted at the above address, or by telephone on 111 1111.
I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,
Peter Petrov.
