Sample 1:
We regret that rapidly rising costs for raw materials necessitate our raising the price of all footwear 10%, effective September 1. We have made every attempt to avoid the increase, but we refuse to compromise on quality. This is our only recourse. We think you will agree that the quality of Doe shoes should not be sacrificed. We look forward to another year of association with you.
Sample 2:
Please accept this letter as notification of a slight rate adjustment, effective March 1. The adjustment is a result of Consumer Price Index changes and increased transportation costs over the last twelve months.
Fortunately, investments in efficient equipment and improved technology will enable us to keep rate increases at a minimum, today and in the future. A summary of rate changes is located at the bottom of this letter. We anticipate no additional rate adjustments for the next full year.
Should you have any questions regarding our services, please contact our office at 555-5555. Customer service or your Doe sales representative will be happy to help you. Thank you for understanding that this price increase means that we can continue to maintain the superior standard of our products and services for the coming year.
Sample 3:
For years Doe has worked hard to bring you and your family very reasonable prices on quality pens. We do everything we can to bring you great values and stretch your office dollars.
We will continue to make this effort, but due to several large price increases, we will need to change our pen price to 59 cents. We hope you feel this is still a great value and we appreciate your support.
