Dear John

I am sorry to inform you that there has been a problem with your order. Unfortunately the parts that you requested (part number 39485) are no longer in production. However a similar product (part number 19340) is in production. The price of this is eight hundred and twenty euros fifty per piece and the total price of your order would be two hundred thousand nine hundred and fifty euros. Please let me know what you think.

Best regards,
