回答: このような意味不明の紛らわしいメールを受け取ったときは確認のメールを送るとよいのでは無いかと思います。 概略の意味は4泊食事つきで正味388ドル、各種クレジットカードの使用可能、paypalを使用した場合は少しばかり余計にかかるので、メールで連絡します。最終の数字は404ドル、これには4%の銀行手数料などが含まれている。 予約が完了しない場合は他の方に回します。 そこで質問になるべく単純に答えてもらうために以下のメールを送ったらいかがでしょうか。 hello xxxx、 thank you for the mail and i am sorry that i haven't responded to your mail in timely manner. since i was having trouble understanding your mail, i would like to clarify some points before process the payment. 1) to make a reservation, do i have to pay us$404.00 altogether? 2) this $404 includes 4 nights stay and 4 breakfast meals. am i correct? you won't ask me any extra payment for this arrangement, will you? 3) after making a payment, you said you would send me a receipt immediately, so could i expect to get it in the same day via e-mail? i am looking forward to hearing from you soon. sincerely yours, yyyyyyy
