Dear Valued Customer:

The surcharge fees passed on to Wirerope Works, Inc. by our vendors decreased slightly for the month of December 2008. We cannot predict or forecast the amount of surcharge for future months, but we are doing all that we can to minimize this expense, and appreciate your understanding and support through this difficult time.

Effective with all shipments on or after December 1, 2008, WW will charge our customers a surcharge of $897.00 per ton. The table is available on our web page at www.wireropeworks.com. Please note that these are approximate prices per foot.

WW thanks you for your continued business and loyalty.

Sincerely,

Bill Austin
Director of Marketing
