\body
Dear Mr. Lopez;

Sorry to have been so long in answering your letter.  My customary fee
for speaking engagements is \$5000 and business class transportation.
If the Xerox conference budget permits this, I will be glad to come.
Also, I would be happy to lecture at any of the other technological
universities in Spain.

Thank you for inviting me to become an honorary member of the 
Universidad Politecnica de Madrid.  I would be honored to accept.

I am embarrassed to have to mix the honorific matters with the financial.

\closing
Sincerely
John McCarthy
