C\O Ms. Sally LeMon
26 Spring Pond Circle
York, ME 03909

Dear Ms. LeMon,


Thank you for giving us the opportunity to quite the Spring Pond and Ruch Lane neighborhoods on their propane gas needs for this coming heating season. It has been a pleasure serving you over the years.

D.F.Richard Energy is proposing to offer a fixed price of $1.75/gallon (which includes the senior citizen discount of $0.04/gallon) through April 30, 2018, for all of your central heating propane gas needs. Out credit terms are net 30 days but we offer energy budgeting plans that allow you to spread your annual costs into equal monthly payments and earn interest on your credit balance. For any number of gallons that are paid for in advance of the heating season by July 31, 2017, we offer a $0.10/gallon discount, making your delivered price $1.65/gallon.

We have available our own in-house 50 person service staff to take care of all your propane gas service needs on a 24 hour, 365 days a year basis. With over 85 years in the business, we believe that we can best serve the needs of your neighborhood. If you have any questions, or desire more information, please don't hesitate to contact me at 1-800-649-6457 or rick@dfrichard.com. Thank you for your consideration.
