From The Desk of United Cutlery:

Dear Valued Customer:

As you are aware, the consumer demand for Lord of the Rings® products has been way
beyond what any of us could have anticipated. Although our suppliers have tried to plan
for the enthusiasm of the fans for the products, there has been no way to keep up with
the current demand.

We apologize for the slow fulfillment of some of your LOTR orders. We know that this has
been frustrating for both you and your customers. Our suppliers are expanding their
capacity to better service our needs.

We fully expect that the Lord of the Rings® brand will have several more years of
success in the marketplace. We will do all in our power to service your orders in as timely
manner as possible. In the meantime, please understand we are working hard for you
and appreciate your business.
