0 I'd use deposit to describe the initial payment and balance to describe the final payment. These are both common words, especially with regards to holiday/apartment bookings. 0-

0 Thank you nona the brit. It seems that «on account» is expression that means «in partial payment of a debt». I think it is not necessary here. What is the right way if i want to insert account number. Is it also ...on account 111 or ...at account 111.02br

0 If you have taken a booking, do you not have a name? If you do, then start Dear Mr/Ms XXXXXX. Treat the email like a formal letter.02br

00However, when booking a room, I have had emails from people letting the rooms, not in hotels, addressed to my personal name. It's up to you.0-
