Dear XXXXX
Thank you for your order of Egyptian Bergamot Rose product. We wanted you to be amongst the first to know that due to limitations in raw materials, this fragrance will not be available for some time once existing supplies run out. This means that you might want to stock up now on what we have left in-house until it becomes available again.
This is also a great time to experience our broad selection of other fragrances. We would like to offer you 15% off your next purchase* to see what else you might fall in love with. (Use code newlove15 during checkout; not valid for Egyptian Bergamot Rose products).

Reject the PROTECT IP Act
The dangerous PROTECT IP Internet censorship bill (or PIPA) seeks to grant the government new powers to force ISPs and search engines to redirect or dump users’ attempts to reach websites’ URLs, all in the name of stopping websites “dedicated to infringing activities.” Big media and its allies in Congress are billing the PROTECT IP Act as a new way to prevent online infringement, but Internet rights advocates know that PIPA would invite Internet security risks, threaten online speech, and hamper Internet innovation. Send an email now to urge legislators in Congress to reject this dangerous bill! Send an email now to urge your members of Congress to reject this dangerous bill!
