SubjectFollowing up: {{project_name}} proposal
Hi {{client_name}},
I wanted to follow up on the proposal we sent on {{proposal_date}} for {{project_name}}.
Happy to walk through the scope and fee on a quick call, or adjust the phasing if that helps with budget or timing. Would {{proposed_time}} work?
Either way, thanks for considering us.
Best regards,
