[Ponte Alto] LAST CHANCE FOR CORONATION RESERVATIONS!!!

[Max Nelson]

All:

Those in-charge of Coronation have advised us that they have not  
received many reservations from those in the greater Ponte-Alto region  
cabin and that we are at risk of losing the cabin for lack of  
reservations associated with the cabin.

If you have not made your reservations, sent in your reservations but  
not informed Katharine de la Vache (elgrad at hotmail.com) that you sent  
them in and are staying with the cabin, or if you have sent them in  
and informed Katherine of your reservations but not that you are with  
our cabin... you *must* do so immediately, or everyone who has sent a  
reservation may be camping with random folks and those that have not  
sent a reservation may be stuck without one.

In service,

Max Von Halstern
