Daily Bunshou: Get Down to Business

お客様へのお知らせ
平素は大変お世話になっております。
さて、急ではございますが、弊社の提供するサービスに関し、今年２００７年７月１日付で変更がございます。

お客様 - customer

• In Japan, traditionally, the customer is God. Seriously. This doesn't mean you can walk out of their store with whatever you want for hyakuen, but it means you leave feeling like you own the place.

お知らせ - notice

平素 - ordinarily, in the past

大変 - serious, diffficult

• What a useful word. Use it whenever you want to comiserate with someone:
  「まだ仕事がある。」
  “大変ですね。”

お世話 - aid, assistance

お世話になっております - Thank you for your help.

• Incredibly common business phrase, found at the top of almost every formal letter, email, conversation, etc.

さて - This acts as a marker for when the real content of the letter begins.

急 - sudden, urgent, steep

• Note: same kanji as in 急ぐ

弊社 - this company

• This is a lowering of the company, because the notice is directed to the almighty Customer. Rikaichan-users: if you hover your mouse over the word, then hit shift, you can see the meaning of the first kanji is quite low.

提供する - to offer, to tender

に関して - like について, it means regarding

７月１日 - ひちがつ　いっぴ

付で - "as of"

変更 - change, alteration

Translation:

A Notice for Our Most Highly-Valued Customers:
Thank you for your generous support in the past...
Now, to get down to business. I know this is sudden, but, as of July 1, there will be a change in our company's service.
