Async handoff: email templates for document requests
Clear asks get clear replies. Save these three templates in your Templates folder.
1. Request the brief / intake
Hi [Name] — to kick off cleanly, could you send the brief (or fill this short form: [link]) by [date]?
If it’s easier, drop files in this folder: [Inbox link]. Thanks!
2. Send proposal for review
Hi [Name] — proposal attached / linked: [link]. It covers scope, timeline, and pricing.
If it looks right, reply “approved” or sign here: [e-sign link]. Happy to jump on a 15-min call if anything’s unclear.
3. Gentle signature nudge
Hi [Name] — friendly nudge on the [doc name]. Sign link: [link].
Want me to resend or adjust anything? Just say the word.

Keep a fourth template for “we’re starting Monday — here’s the folder and agenda.” Consistency beats cleverness.
