Sm Business Apology for increase rates

0My in laws have a very small pool business (about 18-20 pools) and I am trying to write an apology letter for increase in rates/ less service due to cost of gas costs, costs of living, supplies etc. I think what I have so far is good but i think it needs a little more but I have stumped myself. Please help with any ideas. We don't want to lose any customers for them. Thank you! 02br

00"We regret to inform you that due to the increase in gas costs and service supplies, we must unfortunately raise the cost of our services to you or decrease pool service to once weekly. We have avoided raising our prices for as long as possible, but we can no longer prolong the inevitable. Please let us know of your decision.02br

00We wish to thank you for your valued business and know that you will understand the necessity for this change."0-
