We are traveling in a group of three families (children aged 18 months to 7) to Phuket and are interested in hiring your villa. The problem that I have is that we are constrained by a budget of $10,000 AUD inclusive of all taxes, etc. I know its under your asking rate but if we hire it for the full 10 days, would you be willing to do it for $10,000AUD inclusive of the taxes, etc? The way I look at it is a win/win for both of us. It's only a week or so out of low season nearly low season anyways and you will get 10 days guaranteed hire for next April and I will make my wife really happy because she loves everything about your villa. The villa our friends want to book costs less than yours but it is not nearly as nice. Please give my proposal strong consideration as you will make me a hero to my wife if you say yes. Thank you for your time and look forward to speaking to you.
