I know it is wrong but I do not know how to correct it!!

Hi,

please help me with this sentence! I know it doesn´t sound good but I have no idea how to correct it!


"Sorry for keeping you waiting so long but our project manager was very busy.

Today you´ll get the price for the sent stand design B. For this reason I want to ask you which other fairs will you take part to so we can calculate a good price if you will sign a 3 years-contract with us"



Thanks for any feedback!
