Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could give some comment on the following letter:

Dear William Clark,

Thank you for your interest in my firm. I am delighted to hear that you are considering appointing me as architect for the above project. Unfortunately, I may not be able to quote a fee for you at this moment as the nature and scope of services required have yet to be identified.

May I suggest that you contact me to arrange a time and date for further discussion on this project? A copy of [insert contract] is attached herewith for your perusal. We hope it will give you some idea of the services you will require.

We look forward to speaking with you.


Sincerely,


Joe Smith

Any idea how to make the letter more effective and clear?

Regards,

Ed
