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"

ok. fine. Thanks for your help

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.
