Dear Mr Brown,
Thank you very much for your order.
Unfortunately, in common with other suppliers, our prices have risen since you placed an order with us two years ago, but you will be pleased to hear that we will supply your current order at the old price.
I enclose our new catalogue and price lists, which contain several exciting new products and our latest prices.
I will keep you fully informed about the progress of your order. If you would like to get in touch with me urgently, our new fax number is 998321 or, of course, you may prefer to phone me.
Yours sincerely,
A. Burke
Sales Director
