Quotation Cover Letter

Last Updated On February 10, 2020 By Letter Writing Leave a Comment

A quotation cover letter refers to a letter written by the seller to a buyer giving information about the pricing of a product, delivery conditions, and the terms of payment. It is an offer for sale.  

The seller writes this letter to the buyer to convince him/her of the suitability of the product he is selling.

The seller sends it in response to an inquiry that has been made previously by the buyer. Therefore, the seller must state all the information required by the buyer when writing such a letter. The buyer must accept a quotation by way of signing and initiate the processing of the order.

Tips for writing a Quotation Cover letter

  • While writing the quotation, ensure it’s enclosed – Once all the details are written down, a quote is a confidential document and must be inserted in an envelope with identification on top that indeed it is a quotation. In case the buyer had many letters on board, he will be able to differentiate the quotation from other general letters and give it a priority.
  • Prompt the reader about the products- This is in terms of matching the goods with what they wanted and if they would need any modification. This will aid in forming a close relationship, which will, in the long run, form a basis for closing the contract with your organization.
  • Entice the reader – Inspire the reader by enticing him to purchase the product now when the prices are still low. This is a tactic to ensure that you close the sale within the shortest time possible.
  • Quote the ending date of the terms given – If the pricing and delivery period had an ending date, it’s essential to let the buyer know that the conditions are stipulated for a given period of time. Most likely, if the quotation wins the bid, then the buyer will make sure that the sale is closed within the time limit that you have offered to them.
  • Deliver as promised – When you win the bid, do not give any excuses regarding the delivery date, processing period. Ensure that you provide the customer with an excellent customer service experience, which will help build a long term working relationship and, consequently, profitability.

This refers to a layout that helps the business person to come up with a complete quotation, having been formatted to input the details as befits the quote. Below is an example.

Date (date on which Quotation is written)

________________

Sub: _________________________________________

Dear _________________,

In reference to the discussion we held on I hereby submit the quotation for supply of Office Chairs and Desks.

I hope that the quotation matches your expected costs, delivery, and type. 

All our furniture have the below specifications; ________________

It’s our sincere hope that you are comfortable with the quotation, and you will let us know when we can proceed in the processing of your order. 

We prefer a 30 days waiting period for payment of any supply from the date of delivery. We believe it is well within your capacity and request for an order soonest. 

Since the manufacturer keeps changing the prices, we also request you to act soon before the prices go up, and we may be forced to amend the prices, and therefore the quoted price will be in place for the next 45 days.

It would be kind of you to give as a go-ahead and allow the smooth running of the supply as soon as you could.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

What’s the Best Structure for a Sample Cover Letter for Quotation to a Client?

When it comes to writing a cover letter for a quotation to a potential client, you want to make sure you’re following a structure that is both professional and engaging. While you want to provide important details about yourself and your company, you also want to make sure your letter stands out from the pack. Here’s a breakdown of how to structure your cover letter for the best results.

Begin with a brief introduction of your company and your services. You want to make a good first impression, so be sure to highlight what makes your business unique and why your services are the best fit for the client. Use language that is concise and easy to understand, and be sure to address the client by name (if possible).

Next, provide specific details about the product or service you’re quoting. This can include features, pricing, timelines, and more. Make sure to clearly lay out what the client can expect if they choose to work with you, and why your solution is the right fit for their needs. You may also want to provide examples of how you’ve helped other clients in similar situations.

After detailing the specifics of your quote, you want to seal the deal with a compelling closing paragraph. This is a great opportunity to summarize your key points, reiterate your strengths and value, and encourage the client to take the next steps to working with you. Be sure to include a call to action, whether it’s a request for a follow-up meeting or a prompt to sign the contract.

Lastly, make sure to sign off with a professional and polite tone. Including a simple sentence expressing your gratitude for their consideration and an offer to provide additional information or answer any questions can go a long way towards building a positive and lasting relationship with the client.

In summary, a well-structured cover letter for a quotation to a potential client should include:

  • A brief introduction of your company and services
  • Specific details about the product or service you’re quoting
  • A compelling closing paragraph with a call to action
  • A professional and polite sign-off

By following this structure, you can create a professional and persuasive cover letter that helps you win more business.

Cover letter for quotation to client

Cover Letter for Quotation to Client

It is a common practice for sellers to prepare a quotation for their client when their client wants to know the price of the items they want to purchase. Clients generally ask a number of sellers to write a quotation and then after careful evaluation, they choose one of the sellers to make the purchase.

The cover letter is the main part of the quotation that gives a brief introduction to the quotation document. It is not a mandatory document as many sellers send their bids without a cover letter. However, those who use this document always manage to impress their clients as the cover letter helps the clients a lot in understanding the bid in a better way.

Many times, sellers fail to win over the client because their cover letter is not good enough even if they have mentioned a good quotation. Follow the tips given below:

  • Know the content of the letter when you write it because you cannot afford to miss anything important.
  •  Briefly describe what the client can expect to read in the bid so that the length of the letter does not exceed one page.
  • Don’t forget to mention the items you are going to write the quotation about.
  • Mention the terms and conditions of buying products from you and how much time you take to send the products to your prospective clients.

Sample cover letter for quotation:

Subject: Cover letter for quotation

Quotation Letter: How To Write (with Format & Samples)

A Quotation Letter is written by a company with the intent of providing a quotation for their products or services. A quotation letter should clearly describe the products or services being quoted so that the recipient can make an informed purchasing decision. For example, your recipient can make a better decision knowing the exact materials of the pipes you intend to install in a home. When a potential customer is comparing three plumbing quotes, knowing the material involved is as important as knowing the price.

Your quotation can be simple or complex. You might consider offering higher-quality materials at a higher price, and standard materials at a standard price. For example, offering a wooden privacy fence with metal pole supports or with wooden post supports allows the customer several options at different prices. Allowing choice increases the likelihood your company will secure the job.

Quote Request Letter - Word, Google Docs

Quote Request Letter

A Quote Request Letter is a formal document sent by an individual or organization to a supplier or service provider, asking for a detailed price quotation for specific products or services. It's typically used when one wants to evaluate the cost and details of potential purchases or services, often before making a final decision or entering into a contract. This letter provides the supplier with the necessary information to prepare an accurate quote, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of the expectations and requirements.

Things to Consider When Writing a Quotation Letter

You can offer your quote by mail ( letter ) or by email . Either way, it should contain your company name and logo, address, and contact information.

A quotation letter is a professional document, and it should be written in a formal tone . Offer your products or services in a clear and easy-to-read letterhead format . The use of bullet points and tables is common in quotation letters because they make it easy to understand the differences between the services you provide or point down your product qualities.

Your materials, services, or products should be described in as much detail as possible, without making the quote sound like an advertisement . Your potential customer already knows something about what they need. Be clear but don’t create a sales pitch.

What to Include in a Quotation Letter

Your quotation needs to have certain elements to be effective. Here is what you need to include:

  • Basic company information
  • A show of gratitude for being considered
  • List of products and/or services
  • Your quotation price(s)
  • Total package price
  • Options, if possible
  • Guarantee information
  • Contact information

Tip: A show of gratitude is one of the most essential elements in any professional correspondence. Always let your customer know you appreciate them

How to write a quotation email with 6 samples and template

Writing quotation request emails is a fundamental part of professional life, so it pays to get it right. Read our tips and use the 6 email samples we provide.

Blog writer

Lawrie Jones

Table of contents

Quotations are a fixed price for a product or service, enabling you to budget and plan accurately.

If you're involved in production and planning, asking for quotations is a bread-and-butter part of your business – but are you doing it correctly?

If you've been asked to request a quote from a supplier but don't know where to start, we're for you!

Writing quotation request emails is a fundamental part of professional life, so it pays to get it right.

First, we explain what a quotation email is and the differences between estimates. Then we share some expert insights on how to write perfect professional quote emails, including a request for quotation email and how to follow up with a revised quotation.

What is a quotation email?

Quotation emails are different from cost estimates. How? Estimates can provide you with an idea of costs.

Quotations are fixed prices that you can use in a budget proposal and as part of a procurement process.

You may want a quote for an individual part or a whole truckload. You may also want a quote for delivering a single service or ongoing support.

Here are some of the common reasons you may want to create a quotation request:

  • Requesting an initial quote from a provider
  • Negotiating the terms and conditions of a quote (such as delivery timescales)
  • Refreshing a quote after some time
  • Revising a quotation
  • Sending a quote to a customer
  • Following up on a quotation email

In each of these situations, your quote emails should follow a similar structure – so let's outline what that is!

How to write a quotation email

If you're writing a quote email to a supplier, vendor, or partner, here are 8 tips you should always follow.

  • Make it clear you want a price (or make the price clear) – hit them up with a request for a price first, as this is what most people care about.
  • Push paint points – pain points are the problems you face. Reflect on these in your quotation emails and highlight how you want the person to solve them!
  • Keep it short – quotation emails are (almost) all about asking for a price, so don't waste time with lengthy messages; instead, keep it short and sweet.
  • Provide details in attachments and links – every quote must be finalized with a contract, so don't try to include it in an email. But do include necessary attachments and links.
  • Ask for quotes like a pro and proofread – a spelling mistake, grammar error, or (even worse) an incorrect price could destroy your professional reputation, so always proofread everything.
  • Make it personal – address the person directly and make them feel confident and in control. Use professional language, but try to build a personal connection.
  • Put a time limit – tell the person if you need a reply quickly, and always include a deadline for responses.
  • Use Flowrite – we can't over-emphasize the importance of professional language and tone in a quotation email. If you're struggling with English, outsource it to AI and use Flowrite.

What to write in email when sending a quotation

Pros use the tips above to craft professional messages. It's not all, though.

When they come to create a quote email, they all include the same standard parts:

  • Quotation price – state that you're asking for a quote as soon as possible as you can in the email.
  • Quote details – define what the quote request includes and what it doesn't...
  • What's included – list precisely the products/services contained within the quote. Use bullet points or attachments to give a comprehensive overview of everything.
  • What's excluded – ensure you include what's not included in the quote, such as product maintenance agreements.
  • Include add-ons – provide details of any additional services you may require either now or in the future.
  • Why would they want to work with you – provide details of the benefits of working with your business (and why they should offer you a good deal!)
  • Technical terms – state the terms of the quote, including any add-ons (including VAT), interdependencies, and clauses.
  • Contact details – spell out, in simple terms, how the customer, client, or company can contact you with a quote.

Quotation email format

Now, let's get into creating effective messages by describing the proper layout and structure of a quotation email.

Following this outline and the tips and tricks above will ensure you include everything in your messages in a logical and easy-to-understand way.

Quote emails have three core parts:

  • Subject line

Let's delve into the details!

1. Quotation email subject line

Quotation emails should always be clear and professional. Don't try to be too friendly, funny, or informal. It's critical to include key details in the subject line so that anyone can see it's a quotation email, who it's from, and what it relates to.

Here's how to write a clear and attention-grabbing subject line for a quote email:

  • Request for quotation
  • Can you provide a quote for (what)
  • Would you like to quote?
  • We need a price for (whatever you need)
  • (Company name) – Quotation request

2. Quotation email body

The email body will include an explanation of the quotation in detail. You must outline the quote details and any relevant Ts and Cs. Feel free to use bullet points or tables to present the quotation request as efficiently as possible.

  • We've reviewed your company information and wanted to invite you to quote for a project. We've broken our requirements down in the table below so you can see each part we need a price for.
  • I've attached a copy of our terms and conditions with this email. This includes our payment terms and timescales.

Now they've got the price, finish with a positive message about the future with a focus on building a relationship.

  • The quote should reflect the total cost of delivering all aspects of our request. We're searching for a partner that can help us grow, smash targets, and storm sales! We want to be with you every step of your journey.

Set out the following steps, and include any quote conditions.

  • We hope that you provide us with a quote. We've got contracts ready and waiting, and we're on hand to get started ASAP.

Always personalize and customize every email to each recipient, reflecting who they are and the company they work for.

3. Quotation sign-off

In your closing remarks, you'll want to thank the person providing the quotation. You can also set out the next steps in the process, and remember to include your contact details.

Salespeople rarely take no for an answer (at least for the first 50 times), so if you're planning on follow-up your message, make it clear this is the case.

  • Thanks in advance for preparing your quote. I'm always here to clarify any details or answer any questions. You can contact me at any time at (insert information). Please return your quote to us by (date) to enable us to make a decision. We plan to assess submissions and appoint a supplier by (date).

Always add a polite sign-off (kind regards, best regards, etc.), proofread, and then hit send!

6 quotation email examples

To explain the principles above, here are six examples of effective quotation emails for various products, services, and situations.

As well as the samples themselves, we provide a short analysis of the audience and why they're effective.

Samples and templates are, by nature, generic – so before using them in business, be sure to edit and adapt them!

When sending a revised quotation request email, specify precisely what you need to avoid confusion. Be sure to clearly explain the reason for requesting a revision of the quotation.

Explaining the changes you want to be made in the revised quote can ensure that you won't have to go back and ask for more and instead can make your decision.

3. Sample email for price quotation

The RFQ: A request for quotation how-to guide with template

Graham McConnell

A request for quotation (RFQ) is just one of many helpful RFX documents that helps businesses exchange information. It’s a key part of any well-rounded procurement toolkit. Indeed, the RFQ is an excellent tool for efficient and cost-effective sourcing — when used properly. In the right situation, RFQs are advantageous. They offer quicker results than their more common counterpart, the RFP.

Admittedly, RFX documents and procurement terminology can be confusing. Consequently, this post will explore the request for quotation in depth. To begin, we’ll define what exactly an RFQ is, when to use it and the RFQ process. Next, we’ll walk through how to write an RFQ as well as the elements to include and the best RFQ format. Finally, we’ll conclude by sharing a helpful RFQ template and a few request for quote examples.

Table of Contents

Rfq definition.

  • 4 types of RFQs

An overview of the RFQ process

Sample rfqs: template and examples, what is an rfq.

An RFQ, or Request for Quotation, is a formal document issued by buyers seeking detailed proposals from potential vendors. This process involves specifying the buyer’s requirements for a particular product or service and requesting vendors to submit their pricing structures and payment terms.

The primary purpose of an RFQ is to standardize the procurement process, allowing buyers to compare and evaluate vendor offerings on a consistent basis. By streamlining comparisons, RFQs facilitate informed decision-making, ensuring buyers can identify the best value propositions among competing suppliers.

Request for Quote (RFQ) image example

An article in Modern Machine Shop discusses the importance of creating thorough and thoughtful RFQs, saying:

“A well-crafted RFQ is essential to the sourcing process and must provide crucial details to contract manufacturers who will determine if they can perform the job. Detailed RFQs allow suppliers to prepare accurate quotes that minimize the potential for cost overruns, delivery delays and products that don’t meet your requirements.”

*Note: RFQ may also stand for request for qualifications.

RFQ vs RFP: What’s the difference?

The difference between an RFQ and an RFP comes down to what each document hopes to accomplish. Request for quotes are used to find the lowest price possible and cost is your highest priority. On the other hand, a request for proposal (RFP) asks complex questions to select the best vendor based on a number of factors with different RFP scoring weights.

Accordingly, questions in an RFQ focus almost exclusively on cost. Common questions in a request for quotation include cost per unit, bulk discounts, pricing packages, service fees and terms. In addition, they often have pricing tables to help facilitate easy comparisons between vendors.

By contrast, RFP questions often explore more nuanced considerations like experience, customer service, competitive differentiators and so on. While RFPs often address price, typically, it is one small consideration among many various evaluation criteria.

When should you use an RFQ?

While extremely helpful, an RFQ isn’t a good fit for every procurement situation. Because the primary consideration in an RFQ is cost, it is most often used for direct spend. For example, you may use an RFQ to purchase specific products, such as hardware, office supplies or materials. In addition, you may also use them for indirect spend. However, when using a quote request form to source complex goods and services, it’s important to know all the details of what you want.

Think of an RFQ as a no-frills pre-order form ⁠— it clearly defines what product or service specifications needed. From style to size to design, use your request for quote to account for every available variable.

The RFQ also outlines how each vendor should provide their pricing information. Indeed, RFQ forms require a pricing table. This is a detailed view of the vendor’s bid including itemized costs for each product or service. The level of detail allows you to make accurate vendor comparisons.

Should you use an RFQ?

Is an rfq for you.

  • Do you have a list of prequalified vendors that can supply the specific product or service you need?
  • Is price the most important factor?
  • Are you buying something that is ready out-of-the-box and needs no specialization?
  • Do you know exactly what you want to buy and how many of each item?
  • Will you be able to manage the item yourself without support from the vendor?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, then an RFQ is a good choice for you.

4 Types of RFQs

The Request for Quotation (RFQ) process is a pivotal component in procurement, allowing businesses to secure competitive offers from suppliers for goods or services. Understanding the nuances of the four main types of RFQs can empower proposal managers to select the approach that best aligns with their organization’s objectives and procurement strategies. Here’s an expanded look into each type:

An open bid process is characterized by its transparency, where all responses from qualified vendors are visible to each other. This approach is designed to foster a competitive environment by allowing vendors to adjust their bids in real time based on the pricing submitted by their competitors, up until the bid closing date.

  • Pro: The visibility of pricing can lead to heightened competition among vendors, potentially resulting in lower costs for the buyer.
  • Con: However, this openness may also lead to collusion among vendors, where they agree on pricing levels, undermining the competitive advantage this process aims to achieve.

Sealed bids maintain the confidentiality of vendor responses until all submissions are received and the submission period concludes. This method is particularly prevalent in public sector and government procurement, where ensuring a fair and unbiased selection process is paramount.

  • Pro: It can minimize the risk of undue influence and fraud, promoting fairness and transparency in the vendor selection process.
  • Con: The lack of visibility into competitors’ pricing may lead vendors to submit bids that are not as aggressively priced, potentially resulting in higher costs.

Invited Bid

Invited bids restrict the pool of potential vendors to those specifically invited by the buyer. This method can be used in conjunction with either open or sealed bid processes and is often utilized when the buyer wishes to engage with known and trusted vendors.

  • Pro: Leveraging existing relationships can streamline the procurement process, making it faster and potentially more reliable.
  • Con: Limiting the pool of bidders can reduce competition, possibly leading to higher costs as new or unknown vendors that might offer better pricing or innovative solutions are excluded.

Reverse Auction

In a reverse auction, vendors are encouraged to submit their lowest bids in a dynamic, competitive environment, often facilitated by online platforms. Prices typically decrease as the auction progresses, with the contract being awarded to the lowest bidder.

  • Pro: This process can be highly efficient and cost-effective, providing immediate visibility into the lowest market prices.
  • Con: Awarding contracts based solely on price can overlook other critical factors such as quality, service, and long-term value, potentially compromising the overall project outcome.

The RFQ process begins long before the actual request is issued, starting with a comprehensive preparation phase. This initial step involves defining the precise needs of the business with as much detail as possible. The success of this phase hinges on thorough collaboration with internal stakeholders to ensure all requirements are accurately identified and articulated. The depth and clarity of the information provided at this stage are crucial, as they directly influence the relevance and accuracy of the proposals received from vendors. Taking the necessary time to meticulously prepare and align internal expectations sets the foundation for a more effective and efficient procurement process.

For proposal managers navigating the complexities of procurement, understanding these RFQ types and the importance of the preparation phase is critical. Selecting the right approach based on the specific context and needs of the project can significantly impact the success of the procurement process, influencing not only cost savings but also the quality and reliability of the goods or services acquired.

In addition to the details of the product or service you’d like to buy, you’ll need to decide:

  • What type of RFQ will be issued?
  • Who will be invited to respond to the RFQ?
  • When will the deadline be?
  • How will you compare pricing?

Documents and information to include with your RFQ

Detail is at the heart of every effective request for quote. The extra information will help expedite vendor responses as well as the contracting process.

Along with your RFQ, it’s important to include some additional documentation:

  • Invitation to bid with introduction and summary
  • Your RFQ timeline including Q&A and submission deadline
  • Business overview with a description of your company, details on the project and any other relevant background information
  • Pre-qualification or minimum requirements to ensure the vendor is eligible to respond
  • General terms and conditions, including whether or not terms are negotiable
  • Pricing template or table, broken down by item and cost element
  • Selection and evaluation criteria as well as your RFQ scoring guidelines

Now, it’s time to send the RFQ to your vendors. For most RFQs, it’s best to select no more than eight vendors. By limiting the number of respondents, you can ensure that you arrive at a speedy conclusion to your quotation request while still encouraging healthy competition. Often you’ll send vendors an invitation email for a request for quotation. Alternatively, some organizations still prefer to send a request for quotation letter.

Regardless of your delivery method, be sure to allow enough time for the supplier to work through the RFQ with their team — at least a couple of weeks. Hopefully, you’ve provided enough information that follow-up questions will be minimal. But, when questions do arise, share the answers with all participants. A centralized RFX management system makes this quick and easy.

Throughout the process, it’s crucial that you maintain a level playing field. Share all the same information and ask all of the participants the same questions. As you receive responses, it’s good practice to confirm their receipt with the vendor. Unless you have an open bid, keep information about other vendors’ offers strictly confidential.

The biggest benefit of the RFQ is that scoring and selection should be fast and straightforward. The preparation you put in at the beginning will now pay off. With your pricing template or table, you can easily compare vendors side by side.

If working with a selection committee or additional stakeholders, compose a summary with the key information. The memo should include an overview of how many bids you received, the number of bids that were qualified and why others were disqualified.

Your final selection will likely be the vendor that offered the best price and terms. However, be sure to read any accompanying documentation provided. Key insights may be included in the cover letter or executive summary.

Once you’ve made your choice, keep clear documentation of the process, the qualified bids, the published criteria and the winner. This data offers transparency and can be used in the future when issuing new RFQs.

Send an award letter to your selected vendor. Remember, the response provided by the vendor is a quote, not a formal agreement. Negotiate with your vendor to finalize the details. Then, assuming all goes well, you will receive the vendor’s acceptance.

Because of your excellent preparation, the contracting process should be simple. Create your contract with the details, terms and conditions, payment information and deliverables that were outlined in the initial RFQ documentation. After the contract is executed, notify the other vendors of your selection using a proposal rejection letter.

Remember that it is beneficial to maintain cordial relationships, even with unselected suppliers. Provide any answers, information or context you can to the vendors that didn’t win the bid. Update vendor profiles with any new information so that next time you’re ready to engage them, you have all the right info.

After the contract is signed, it’s a good idea to set a reminder to check back in. While the deal is still fresh in your mind, make notes and set your first vendor evaluation meeting. Ongoing vendor experience management is a key part of developing effective, long-term relationships.

General vendor evaluation questions:

  • Is the vendor fulfilling their side of the agreement?
  • Are you getting the value that you were hoping for and had planned on?
  • Can the relationship be improved?
  • Has the vendor received and acted on feedback?
  • Are other vendors offering more competitive pricing now?
  • Has the market changed?

What to include in your RFQ

The request for quotation documents vary widely from one industry to the next and can be customized to fit your business’s needs.

Buyer information

  • Project name
  • Goals and background
  • Buyer point of contact information
  • Bidder instructions
  • RFQ timeline

Detailed specifications

  • Product or parts description
  • Technical requirements
  • Delivery requirements
  • Pricing table/form

Selection criteria

  • Prequalification questionnaire
  • RFQ type (open or closed)
  • Scoring criteria
  • Selection process timeline
  • Terms and conditions
  • Legal and security requirements
  • Disclosures
  • Standard contract

RFQ template

Every request for quote is different. An RFQ that works well for supplies procurement, won’t be well suited to an IT support services quote. RFQ templates can be used as a guide, but customize them to fit your needs.

RFQ examples

Government RFQ example

RFQs are often used in public procurement. The U.S. General Services Administration used an RFQ when they needed to establish government-wide janitorial services. As you might expect, this request for quotation example is very detailed and offers very specific information about scope, guidelines and requirements. The document also provides a clear process for evaluation so suppliers know what to expect.

GSA janitorial service request for quote example

Nonprofit RFQ example

RTI International is a nonprofit institute based in North Carolina. The organization provides global research and technical services to government and commercial clients. In 2017 they prepared a request for quotation when they needed to acquire new tablets and tablet covers. This RFQ form is a great example of the detail-oriented nature of the process.

RTI International Tablet request for quotation example

Utility company RFQ example

BrightRidge, a public power company, created a request for quotation to purchase a very specific piece of equipment. This request for quotation example details all the specifications for the transformers and offers helpful information and instructions to guide vendors.

This document is prepared by businesses and given to prospective customers or clients. You may also see appreciation letters

What Are the Different Purposes of Quotation Letters?

Since a quotation letter is any letter that is intended for communicating information regarding a quotation and there are different types of information that may be addressed in the process of creating a quotation, then it is only logical that there be different types of quotation letters. You may also see formal letters .

Quotation letters have many types depending on the purpose of writing it. The following are the most common usage of quotation letters:

  • A quotation letter is written by a prospective customer to request a quotation proposal from a business.

What Are the Benefits of Writing Quotation Letters?

There are several advantages of practicing the act of formally sending letters in dealing with the other party in a quotation or bidding process. The following are the most notable benefits of writing quotation letters :

1. A quotation letter allows both parties to be clear.

Letters have a standard format thus the information that it contains would be presented in an easily visible and coherent way. Since a properly written quotation letter is bereft of any ambiguity, it thus means that both the business and the prospective customer can clearly and succinctly enunciate the particular aspects of a quotation that they want to address. You may also see introduction letters .

2. A quotation letter is a formal document that can be admissible in court.

In case there is any confusion as to the terms of a quotation proposal, quotation letters are strong forms of evidence as to the correspondences between the business and its customer. Through the perusal of an authentic quotation letter, the court can examine the aspects of a quotation proposal that both parties have agreed to. You may also see admiration letters .

3. A quotation letter can hold each party liable for any violation of the terms in a quotation proposal.

For example, if the buyer has decided to accept the terms cited in a quotation proposal and has then sent a letter accepting the said proposal together with the payment of the total amount indicated in the proposal. Then afterward, the business failed to deliver the goods on the day it was expected. In this scenario, the buyer has the remedy of going to court and using the quotation letters as evidence of a business agreement format .

Writing Tips for a Quotation Letter

Whoever you are writing the business quotation letter to, write it as if the receiver only has a minute or two to look over it. To be effective, a business quotation letter must have short bullet point lists to draw consideration. The opening paragraph must attract the reader’s attention and let him know why he should choose your services. You must choose how to write your first paragraph wisely because it can make the difference between being read or being thrown in the trash.

Moving on to the next paragraph of your  business letter , it must allow the reader to recognize the benefits of your proposal . Show them how your services can improve and increase their business. Another way of keeping as much time as possible the attention is to break down the letter into small parts because people tend to pay more attention if the letter seems shorter and well-structured (paragraphs of four to five sentences).

Most business quotation letters include contact information in their headers, such as the sender’s name, phone number, and address. Following the contact information comes the date when the letter was sent. In the case of a business letter sent via email, the letter should start with a formal salutation and get straight into the subject.

Quotation cover letter

Basically, a quotation cover letter will cover what’s known as a formal quotation or a contract. Usually, when a signature is required by a customer so that an order can begin being processed, this is what will be required.

This is simply just a protocol to begin working and building a stable business relationship.

Starting to Write

Let the reader know that the quotation is enclosed for the job to begin and they must sign it.

Ask the reader if the quotation matches their specifications or needs and if business is ready to begin.

Encourage the reader to apply now while prices are low.

If the terms have an ending date, then be sure to specify them.

Sample quotation cover letter

Dear Mr. Coffey,

We discussed this last week, and I’m here to present the quotation for the computer system as discussed. Hopefully, this quotation reflects everything that we covered during the meeting. If there’s something that needs a revision, then please let us know.

We need to know how to proceed if everything is quoted as described. What we would prefer to do is to lease out the system with low monthly payment, but it’s up to you of course. While we do offer the system for an outright purchase, that isn’t a common option that people like to take as it can be expensive. I would hurry though, because we don’t control the market for the pricing and once the manufacturer’s pricing goes up, so does ours. These prices are only going to last for 30 days, so I would act fast.

Areeya is a person who views a challenge as a chance to connect with others. Her experience with Python and bilingual background enable her to effectively, empathetically, and successfully lead junior engineers. ” – T. Watanabe, President of Kyoto Software.

Dear Hiro Yakamoto,

My name is Areeya, and I’m writing to you regarding the position of software engineer at Tokyo Materials. I have more than ten years of experience using Javascript, C++, and Python and am certified by the Engineering Association. With Tokyo Materials, I’m excited to continue my career as a software engineer, especially in developing Python-based software.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Tokyo University. I participated in an Engineering Association-hosted coding boot camp in 2010 and started working for Kyoto Software as a result. I worked with my team to develop accounting software using Python as a junior software engineer, and the program we produced brought Kyoto Software over $1 million. Over the course of my software engineering career, I have successfully led three teams of Japanese and English speakers by utilizing my bilingual background and Japanese work ethic. This has led to my employer promoting me to senior software engineer.

My personal engineering strategy is to continuously enhance software while lowering costs. I managed project planning for 40 different programs during my seven years with Kyoto Software, encouraged new hires to reach their full potential, and oversaw the creation of new software.
