**To:** mr.thompson@clientcompany.com
**Subject:** Follow-up – Proposal for website redesign (sent June 1st)
Dear Mr. Thompson,
I hope you are having a productive week. I am writing to kindly follow up on the website redesign proposal that I sent to you on June 1st, following our initial consultation about improving your company’s online presence.
During our conversation, you mentioned that you would review the proposal within a few days and get back to me with any initial thoughts. As it has now been two weeks, I wanted to politely check in to see whether you have had an opportunity to review the document.
I remain very enthusiastic about the possibility of working with your team. The proposal outlined a three-phase approach that I believe would address the specific challenges we discussed, including improving mobile responsiveness, reducing page load times, and creating a more intuitive navigation structure. I have attached a copy of the proposal to this email for your convenience.
If you have had a chance to review it, I would love to hear your initial impressions. I am happy to answer any questions, clarify any sections, or provide additional examples of similar projects I have completed. If you have not yet had time to review it, I completely understand – would it be helpful if I scheduled a brief call to walk you through the highlights?
Please let me know your availability for a 15-minute phone call next week. I am flexible and can work around your schedule. Thank you again for considering my proposal, and I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you.
Sincerely,
James Foster
