Hi {{first_name}},

Great meeting you today. Attached is the estimate we discussed for {{project}}.

Quick summary:
- Scope: {{scope}}
- Investment: ${{total}}
- Timeline: {{timeline}}

Any questions, just reply to this email or call me at {{phone}}.

{{signature}}

--- EMAIL 2 (day 3) ---
Subject: Anything I can clarify on the {{project}} estimate?

Hi {{first_name}},

Wanted to check in — sometimes estimates raise more questions than they answer. Happy to walk through anything by phone or explain any line item.

--- EMAIL 3 (day 7) ---
Subject: Two things most customers ask about {{project}}

Hi {{first_name}},

The two questions I usually get after sending an estimate like yours:

1. "Can this wait?" — For {{project}}, the risk of waiting is {{risk}}.
2. "Is there a cheaper option?" — Yes, we can also do {{cheaper_option}} for about ${{cheaper_price}}, though it {{trade_off}}.

Want to talk through it?

--- EMAIL 4 (day 14) ---
Subject: Locking in {{month}} availability

Hi {{first_name}},

We're scheduling {{month}} jobs this week. If you'd like to hold a spot for {{project}}, reply and I'll pencil you in — no commitment until you sign.

--- EMAIL 5 (day 30) ---
Subject: Closing your file — is {{project}} still on your list?

Hi {{first_name}},

I'll close out your estimate this week unless I hear otherwise. If timing changed, no problem — just let me know and I'll keep it open. Prices are good for 60 days from the original date.

Hi {{first_name}},

We just wrapped up the {{service}} at your place — thank you for choosing {{company}}.
