Announce a price increase - 4

Dear Felix

For the last three years, I have charged the same hourly rate for my services in spite of rising office expenses and salary increases. As much as I would like to maintain my rates for another year, I find that I must increase them to provide quality legal services to my many valued clients. Effective January 1, 2002, my new hourly rate will be $150.

I value you as a client and want to continue serving you. If you have questions or concerns about this increase, please give me a call.

Regards
Lydia
