Please correct this sentence

Hi!



please I need a correction because I think there is something wrong in this sentence.



My customer wrote:"i don t have idea of budget for the stand construction .Please offer us good price."

I answered:

"This is quite generic, it does not say me anthing. Please try to give me an idea, maybe choose from some possible budget levels:

from 2000 EUR to 3000

from 3000 EUR to 4000

or over 4000?"



I need some correction for the following sentences:



"it does not say me anything" I wanted to say that his comment was not of help

"budget levels" ? can it work?

"to give an idea" ? is it possible?



Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the remark! Maybe you are right when you say that my answer was a bit rude but sometime I lose my patience with some customers and I do not think of "good manners"

Please, one more thing, try to give me some alternatives except of "it was not of help" to replace the following sentence:

"this does not say me anything"

Thanks!!

I'm not going to. You cannot say anything of that sort to a customer.
