Bid Cover Letter

[bob]

Do you enclose a cover letter with your bid?

[bob]

Tell me what you think about the above cover letter?

[kris]

Sorry Bob ... don't like it.


there are some serious punctuation etc problems with it.

[bob]

Kris, it's not mine. It belongs to a friend of mine who sent it to a prospective customer.

[rodfather]

It's terrible. If I received something like that as a prospective customer, I would have serious doubts about that company's ability to service my account.

[scott's turf]

Yes it needs a grammar check and there are only a couple sentences on it!

[Scraper]

Ditto what Rodfather said. It reads as though it was written by a high school dropout.

Bob,

I will e-mail you one that I did and had success with in the past. That cover letter is simply....well,...... horrible. I know your punctuation and ability to put a complete sentence together is better than that!

[OBRYANMAINT]

I always include one

[Kent Lawns]

I sometimes with this forum had two segments:

One for professionals, the other for uneducated guys trying to earn a buck.

That letter is a total joke.

Go to LawnCaresuccess and purchase his Bid forms they are great I have had great success with them. Also they come with a cover letter.

Wow! That is absolutely horrible! Run - on sentences. Wrong places to end sentences. Whew, i could go on... and for only a short paragraph. Ill have to search my files and find our cover letter to post. Ill be back....

You could improve your grammar by placing a comma after the word "expected". Also, never start a sentence with the word "and". I am not an English major, but these two tips might be some help.

I like the butterfly for a logo......:D

I know it was scanned in for placing here, but it looks like "IT" was scanned in and pasted together. I feel sorry someone thinks they need to send out a letter like.

I like the part about telling the customer basically to set their own bid. That is real confidence in your ability for bidding. Pretty sad stuff!

MATT - I thought that we were cratiquing bob's letter. Noone in here asked about how my grammer was, but ya know what? Bob did!! Bob wanted some advice. So, i gave it to him the best i could. I know my faults, and if i want to have them put under a microscope, ill let ya know. thanks!

I totaly agree with your opinion. As I said before, I didn't write it. I just posted it to show a poorly written cover letter.

Scroll back up and re-read my post. I was agreeing and elaborating only on what you suggested. I even added quotes from Bob's cover letter and suggestions for Bob's cover letter.

Thanks!

Wow that looks more like a ransom note. This letter could possibly be a deal breaker more than a help for the bid.
