3. Hi [name],
As you know, the world is focusing on the Outbreak that happened in China, I’d like to let you know a few things:
1.The Outbreak happened in Wuhan City in China, and the most serious cities are only in Hubei Province, other provinces like Zhejian, Guanggong and Suzhou are not seriously affected.
2.The Outbreak can only be infected by human to human through the air with closed contact, NOT by goods to good.
3.China is now doing every possible means to make everything is under control, and I do believe that you will hear more good news soon.
4.The WHO (World Health Organization) announced that it is just a PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern) but not an “Affected Area”.
5.Please feel relax to do the business with us, and your trust and support will be the best confidence contribution to our battle. Your trust and effort will return you more in the future.
I really appreciate it.

6.解决状况:
(疫情期间,延长交货期)
Dear [name],
I am very sorry that the delivery date of your goods may be delayed.
For now, it’s the key time for China to make the Outbreak under control, and the whole China prolonged around 10 days of the Chinese New Year holiday, which means your goods would be delayed at least [15] days.
Our government is doing every possible means to control the Outbreak, as long as we could work together to help our country to pass this important period, then everything will be back to normal immediately.
At a special time like this, I really hope you can share your best understanding of it, and I really need your support, as well as our company and China. Your trust and effort will return you more in the future.
We really appreciate your support for all.

Hello [Prospect name],
Your current product requires repairs and maintenance work approximately 10 times per year, which accounts for $3,300 in service and labor fees. You also paid $670 for new parts.
Our data shows these machines tend to break down twice as often after their third year in use, so next year you should expect to spend at least $7,000 for the same costs.
In addition, your productivity is seriously impacted each time it’s not in use — costing you roughly $2,000 this year and an estimated $4,000 next year. Our product will save you upwards of $11,000 in just one year.
Does that justify the price I quoted you?
