You can say I have a menu → I don't have a menu with the subject I, but you cannot use don't with Caroline (=she).

If the affirmative sentence contains to have + got, make it negative by following this structure: subject (here, I) + have not/has not (or their short forms haven't/hasn't) + got. Example: Rebecca has got a Spanish mother → Rebecca has not/hasn't got a Spanish mother. Note: you could also say I don't have a new offer for you.

You could say Magda has got a new offer for you → Magda has not got a new offer for you because the subject is Magda (=she), but you cannot use this option after I.

You could say He has got a new offer for you → He doesn't have a new offer for you using the traditional negative structure with do/does + not, but you cannot do it here because the subject is I and we used got.

Simon and Harry have a holiday → Simon and Harry do not have a holiday. The negative form of to have can be created by using the same structure as we use for regular verbs: subject (here, Simon and Harry) + do/does + not + have. Example: my friends do not have a clue about this.

You could say Simon has a holiday → Simon does not have a holiday because the subject is just Simon (=he), but in the original sentence we have Simon and Harry (=they).

Use the form with got when to have means to possess, as in Simon has not got a large office, but not when to have is part of an expression such us to have a holiday, which means to go on holiday.
