Dear Ms. Ferland,

Three years ago you rented me the corner chair at Alder & Oak Salon, and it has been a good home for my work ever since. My regulars know just where to find me, and I would hate to move them. So the letter I found this morning gave me a start, since it sets my weekly chair fee at $260, well above the $190 I pay now. Before I sign it, I would like to talk the number over with you.
