Narrative:
On descent passing olm, we received an ACARS message from dispatch stating 'just got a call from operations. Say that they loaded cargo that wasn't included in weights. You are 2020 pounds heavier than final numbers. Ran new flight plan. Looks ok on landing weight and engine out altitudes.' we checked our landing weight and made sure it was within limits, then made a normal, uneventful landing.
