Email Body
Hi {{first_name}},
Checking in on the proposal I sent over for {{project_name}}.
If helpful, I can walk through scope, timeline, and assumptions live so your team can decide faster.
Happy to adjust details where needed so this aligns with your internal priorities.
I can keep this moving without extra overhead by packaging decisions, open questions, and a recommended path in a concise update.
Would you like that update by email, or should we align quickly on a short call?Replace all {{variables}} with your actual information before sending.
Why This Template Works

Adds context from prior touchpoints so recipients do not need to re-read earlier emails.

3
Gives a direct yes or no next step to reduce response effort.
Best Practices
- ✓Space follow-ups 3 to 5 business days apart.
