Dear Ms. Dorrell:

Thank you for your recent inquiry concerning James Avery corporate gifts.

To help with your gift purchases, I have enclosed our most recent catalogs illustrating many of our popular items.

Because we design and manufacture our own jewelry, these catalogs can only represent a small portion of the more than 6,000 designs we make. Or, if you prefer, we can create a new design or modify an existing one especially for your corporation.

Ive included these examples to let you see the breadth of our designs. I?ll be in contact with you to see if the information I have provided is what you need and to answer any question you might have.

please note that the prices on the enclosed information may not be current, however. I will be happy to provide special quantity prices on the specific items.

We appreciate your interest in James Avery Craftsman and look forward to helping you to select a very special gift.

Best regards,

JAMES AVERY CRAFTSMAN, INC.

Joan Smith

Corporate Account Coordinator
