What Is a Quotation Email?
A quotation email is the message you send with a price quote. It introduces the quote, gives the customer enough context to recognize the request, and explains what to do next.
The quote should carry the detailed offer. The email should make that offer easy to find and easy to respond to.
How to Write and Send a Quotation Email
Finish the quote first. Then write the email around the action you want your customer to take.
- Create the Quote: Add the customer and describe the offer. Set the price and terms, then check the total before you write the email.
- Check the Recipient: Use the customer name and the email address connected to the request.
- Write a Clear Subject: Name the job, service, or quote number so the email is easy to recognize.
- Open With Context: Thank the customer for the request and say that the quote is ready to review.
- Point to the Quote: Tell the customer where to find the quote. Avoid repeating every line item in the email.
- Give One Next Step: Ask the customer to review, reply with questions, or accept the quote.
- Review and Send: Check the recipient and quote details. Then send the email.
Quotation Follow-Up Email Example
A short follow-up is usually easier to answer than a second sales pitch. Refer to the original quote and give the customer room to ask a question.
Subject: Checking In on Quote [Quote Number]
Hi [Customer Name],
I wanted to check whether you had any questions about quote [Quote Number] for [project or service]. It is valid until [Date].
Reply here if you would like to change the scope or talk through any part of the quote.

Quotation Email FAQs
-
What should a quotation email say?
Say why you are writing, identify the quote, and tell the customer what to do next. Keep the detailed offer in the quote itself. The email only needs the context and next step.
-
What is a good subject line for a quotation email?
Use the project or service name and, when useful, the quote number. For example: Quote Q-1048 for Office Painting.
-
Should I put the full quote in the email?
Usually, no. A short email is easier to scan. Send the full quote as a Docelf document or PDF. This keeps the scope and total together with the dates and terms.
-
Can I email the quote from Docelf?
Yes. You can email the quote through Docelf or download a PDF and send it yourself.

Does my customer need a Docelf account?
No. Your customer can open the quote you send without creating a Docelf account.

When should I follow up on a quotation email?
Choose a follow-up time that fits the job and the quote expiry date. Refer to the original quote, ask whether the customer has questions, and avoid sending a long duplicate message.

Use the level of formality you normally use with that customer. A clear greeting, one or two short paragraphs, and a direct next step work for most business quotes.
