Dear Mr. Mitchell

I want to personally notify you that your charge for monthly pest control service will be increasing from $84.50 to $89.50 effective with our May billing. I hope this action will not affect our successful business relationship. Increasing costs for materials, insurance, labor, and regulatory compliance have made a price increase necessary for all of our customers.

Acme Pest Control will continue to provide you with the best possible value for your pest control dollar. Your customers will see no pests. We guarantee it! As always, we will continue to provide you with 24-hour emergency service. As part of our service, we now provide quarterly reports. These include not only information on our activities, but also identify any maintenance, operational, and sanitation problems identified by our technicians.

We hope we can continue to provide you with the area's top pest control service at a fair price. If you have any questions or comments, please give me a call.

Sincerely yours,

Sandra Hartley
Branch Manager
