 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
 
 Hi FIRSTNAME,
 
-Your renewal fee for VMID on SERVER this year is €PAYMENT.
+First and foremost, we thank you for your continued support!
+Can you believe another year has passed since you started with your
+VM?
 
-Total donated: TOTAL_DONATED
-Total VMs deployed: TOTAL_VMS
-Total hosts deployed: TOTAL_HOSTS
+Since that time, your support has enabled us to reach the following
+milestones:
+
+1) Donate €TOTAL_DONATED to the OpenBSD Foundation
+2) Deploy TOTAL_VMS VMs
+3) Deploy TOTAL_HOSTS hosts
+
+We really hope you have been happy with the service provided, if so,
+please consider renewing now. You can find all the options to renew at:
+https://openbsd.amsterdam/pay.html
+
+The unfortunate thing is that we are forced to increase our prices
+with €4 per year due to the current state of the energy market.
+
+This means that your renewal fee for VMID on SERVER this year is €PAYMENT.
+
+Stripe: STRIPE
+iDEAL: https://bunq.me/openbsdams/PAYMENT/VMID%20on%20SERVER
+Paypal: https://paypal.me/runbsd/PAYMENTeur
+
+For all payment options, have a look at:

+
+For every renewal we will donate €15 to the OpenBSD Foundation.
+
+When you want to cancel your VM please let us know.
+
+In the last week of the month we will shutdown and remove VMs which
+have not been renewed.
