 Valued client black glass,

 I've recently worked with several of my customers to help drastically lower their EC2 costs by leveraging Reserved Instances. As I was looking at some of my other customers, your account came up as one that could potentially be saving a lot of money based on your current EC2 usage.

 For your account, I analyzed your September EC2 usage. Based on that usage, I calculated the optimal number of Reserved Instances that would result in the most cost savings for you each month. If your usage remained the same but you purchased Reserved Instances, you could save approximately $27.90 per month. This would save you between 45% ($701.88) and 64% ($1,004.44) depending on if you went with 1 year or 3 year Reserved Instances.

 I've attached a complete proposal that goes into details on this analysis showing you the exact number of Reserved Instances and the exact cost savings that you could immediately start to recognize by leveraging Reserved Instances.

 As explained in the attached proposal, purchasing reserved instances is something you can do yourself via the management console. You won't need to do anything to your running instances. They can keep running exactly how they are. Simply purchase the reserved instances and you will automatically start receiving the new reduced hourly rate.
