Mary Pippen, Suxedy F Prints Miranda Kates, Lily Industries New Year’ s Cards

I am looking for a company to make New Year’s cards for our firm A friend of mine at Elite Marketing, Jack Pilsen, used your company last month for some advertising and highly recommended you In addition, he gave me a 10% discount coupon which I hope to use for this order The cards we need are quite simple and easy to produce The front of the card will have our company logo, so we won't need to have anything custom-designed for it Could you give me the estimate for a set of 500 cards and matching envelopes? With New Year’s on the first of next month, we should have them mailed out by the 15" I have already arranged to have them addressed and mailed, but it will take at least two days, so could you have the order ready within ten days? I could stop by your office anytime tomorrow and give you the information required to make the cards
