## 1. Welcome email

From: Dhairya Patel / VertexLineup Studio
Subject: A clear brief makes room for good work
Preview: The information I need before I write.
Use: A personal reply after a new studio enquiry. Add recipient details and approved project terms for a real enquiry.

Hello,

I’m Dhairya Patel. I run VertexLineup Studio from Pincher Creek, Alberta. I write business content, design websites and prepare business documents. You work directly with me.

Thanks for telling me about your project. Before I suggest a scope, I need to understand what the finished piece must help someone do.

Start with the job. A service sheet might help a buyer compare an offer. A welcome email might help a new customer prepare for an appointment. An article might explain a decision that keeps coming up. Tell me which decision your reader needs to make.

Then send the material you already have. Rough notes are useful. So are the questions customers ask, the words you use on calls and the details you repeat in replies. You do not need to write a polished first draft.

In your reply, include:

- The piece you need and where you will use it.
- The reader and the next action you want them to take.
- The facts I can use, including prices, dates and exclusions.
- The date you need it, your budget and the person who approves it.

Mark any detail you still need to confirm. I would rather leave a claim out than turn an assumption into a promise. If you want to mention a result, send the record that supports it.

I’ll review your brief and tell you what I need next. I’ll confirm the deliverables, fee, dates and revision rounds in a proposal before work starts. If your request needs a different specialist, I’ll say so.

I use AI to assist with research and drafts. I check the sources, make the writing decisions and review the final material myself.

Reply with your notes. If talking is easier, book a free call through the studio’s contact page.

### A brief you can finish with the notes you have.

I need a clear job, a real reader and facts I can check. Here is how to put them in a brief.

A blank brief can make a small piece of writing feel like another project. Start with what you know. I can shape rough notes into a draft. I cannot decide your offer, approve a price or invent proof on your behalf.

#### Name the job of the piece.

Write down what someone should understand or do after reading. “Explain my services” is a starting point. “Help a buyer choose which service to ask about” gives the copy a clearer job.

Include the format and where it will appear. An email that someone opens after enquiring needs different context from a sheet you hand over during a meeting. If you need both, name both. I can scope the work around actual files.

#### Write for someone you can describe.

Tell me who reads it, what they already know and what they are unsure about. Use the questions you hear in real conversations. A buyer may need to know whether a service covers their area, what to send you or what happens after they agree.

If the audience is still an assumption, label it. “I think owners ask about turnaround” is useful as a question to check. It is weaker evidence than the same concern appearing in enquiry records.

#### Separate the facts from the claims.

Send your approved offer, current prices, process, exclusions and contact details. Add the source for any result you want to mention. A dated report, an approved customer quote or an original record can support a specific sentence.

Leave an empty field for anything missing. Do not replace it with “best in the area” or a result you hope to achieve. I can write useful copy about the service itself while the evidence is incomplete.

#### Make the next action easy to name.

Choose the action the piece will ask for. It could be “Reply with your dates”, “Download the checklist” or “Book a free call”. Tell me where that action leads. I need the correct link, email address or instructions before I can finish the copy.

Add your needed date, budget and approval owner. Note any legal, technical or subject review the work requires. I will use these details to confirm the scope and schedule before I start.

#### Send the rough material.

Paste your notes into a document. Attach the existing sheet, a transcript you are allowed to share or the questions you answer most often. Keep confidential information out unless we have agreed how to handle it.

Do not spend hours polishing the brief. Spend that time checking the offer and gathering the source material. Those decisions let me write a draft you can meaningfully review.

**The brief in one paragraph:** I need [format] for [reader]. It should help them [decision or action]. I can supply [source material]. These facts are approved: [facts]. These details need checking: [gaps]. I need it by [date], and [person] approves it.
