Subject: Notice of Monthly Fee Adjustment
Dear Mr. Nakamura,
Thank you for being a Sunrise Internet customer. We are writing to inform you of an upcoming adjustment to your monthly service fee.
Beginning September 1, the standard monthly fee for your current plan will increase by $5. This change is due to rising infrastructure maintenance costs and recent service upgrades aimed at improving connection stability.
Please note that no action is required on your part. Your service will continue without interruption, and the updated fee will be automatically reflected on your next billing statement.
If you have any questions regarding this change or wish to review alternative plans, please visit our website or contact our customer support team.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
Sunrise Internet Billing Department
