Dear Ms. Johnson:
I'm writing to inform you of a decision made by The Clear Skin Co. that will affect shipments to your store. Our board of directors has voted to halt production of our vitamin C skin care products, due to low sales nationwide over the past two years.
As of May 31, 2008, The Clear Skin Co. will officially cease supplying the following cosmetics:
 
Vita C
- Intense Moisturizer for Dry Skin
- Daytime Face Moisturizer
- Eye and Lip Fine Line Cream
- Extra-Strength Sun Cream
Naturally, this means we will not be able to renew an order inclusive of these products.
To replace the Vita C skin care line, we will be supplementing our existing Vita E product line with five new products gels, creams and moisturizers that target specific skin problems.
Vitamin E is more widely identifi ed by consumers as having beneficial effects for the skin.
The new products are currently being formulated and are due to arrive in stores on April 30. Please let us know if you are interested in receiving a preliminary trial sample of the products  and we will ship them to you as soon as they become available.
