I need to know an email

Dear David Schmidt,

  For selecting my suggestion as the winner, I would like to thank you and your company. I express my deepest gratitude and am very honored to receive this award. My purpose in writing this email is to express my appreciation and to ask a few questions. Please let me know the date and time of my arrival at your factory in Switzerland and when I shall return. Furthermore, I would like to inquire about the travel arrangements, and what kind of vehicle we will be traveling with. Last but not least, I would like to ensure that my friend will not have to pay for travel or accommodations. Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity. It is a pleasure to meet you and to see your factory.
