Following up on the proposal
Body
Hi [Client Name],
Just checking in on the proposal I sent for [project].
Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to talk through the scope, pricing, or timeline. If the timing is not right, that’s useful to know too.
Happy to adjust the proposal if needed.
Best, [Your Name]
