Hotel Reservation for Schengen visa?

Me and my girl friend shall be staying 2 days in Spain, 4 days in Italy, 3 days in France, now we have book most hotels using my name, where the Visa application in Italy (which we stay at longest) stated below:

"Hotel reservation OR an original letter of invitation from your host in Italy, signed by him/her and with a photocopy of his/her valid I.D. or residence permit in Italy if non-EU-citizen. NOTE – if accommodation booking does not show the name of the person travelling, the person booking the accoomodation or named person on the accommodation documents should provide a confirmation letter stating they have made the booking on the applicants behalf, and also provide copies of their main passport page with photo and signature. The same is also required if the person booking the accommodation is travelling with the applicant."

Now I wonder, what type of letters should I be writing, since I could not find any form online and I am not quite sure how should I write this letter, if anyone did this before please please kindly help us.

PS. We have 10 hotels, which only stated my names, so writing every hotel request to include my gf's name would be pain in the ***, so we chose to write a letter confirmation for each other instead.

Thank you very much!

Update:

Thank you very much for "Gerd P" answer, just a little bit more: I wonder if only this letter would be enough? since I am booking the hotel from third party agent such as "booking.com", "expedia.com", "veneer.com" etc.?? Thank you again for your answer (I am not sure how to directly answer below my own question, it's my first time using Yahoo Answer.

    This letter will be enough for your girlfriend's visa application; however you need to provide hotel booking confirmation for your own application.
