Sara: Close--this is a tricky one!

Rupinder,
Please ask her where she is going over Easter holidays,but don't tell her that I asked for the information.
Please ask her where she is going over easter but, don't tell her that I asked for this information.
Please ask her where she is going over the Easter holiday, but don't tell her I asked for this information.
Please ask her where she is going over for Easter, but don't tell her that I asked this information.
Sara: Still close:-)
Jeff: You're also not seeing the trick in here.
Rupinder: You're also close;-)
Mstt: You've also missed the trick, but don't forget the punctuation and capitalization along the way.
Matthieu: Another close answer.
Carole: Your use of "for" is awkward--it doesn't belong with "over", but it is needed after "asked".
Can we convert this sentence to direct speech, for example:
“Please ask Angela where is she going over the Easter holiday,” said David, “but don’t tell her I asked the question.”
Please ask her where she is going over Easter but don't tell her that I had asked for this information.
One more edit :-)
“Please ask Angela where is she going over the Easter holiday,” said David, “but don’t tell her I'm asking this question.”
Milijana: You've seen the "trick" here; well done. But you don't need to add anything besides punctuation;-)
Sara: See my answer to Milijana, and check your punctuation.
“Please ask her where is she going over the Easter Holiday, but don’t tell her I asked the question.”
