Final communication mission

A friend asks for help after missing the free-change deadline for a hotel booking. Record a two-minute voice message for that friend. Explain how to prepare for a call with the hotel, give two polite conditional requests they could make, propose one fair alternative if the hotel cannot move the dates for free, and advise them to request written confirmation. Make clear that the hotel may refuse the proposal. Your friend should know exactly what to say and what to ask next.
