Dear Mr. Goodwin:
We have great news for you. We are delighted to request your consultancy services as a social media consultant for the Home center company. Due to the growing need to use social media platforms to collect information from various sources including the customers, the home center company would like to make an inquiry about your services.
First off, I would like to request for information with regard to your service delivery when working with our company. The issue of concern is whether you would offer your services on a contractual or permanent basis. If either of them, please share your charges for the services offered. Also, include a breakdown of the requirements that would be necessary to meet the objective of making the use of social media more productive and effective. In addition to this, please include details and references for previously completed projects that are similar to this.
Kindly provide all the details in written form through email or letter so that they can be submitted to the CEO of the home center as a compiled report. This will facilitate easier and faster processing of the documentation so that we can initiate working terms with your company. We look forward to hearing from you sooner. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Communications Director.
