Letter of estimate is an offer to do certain work for a stated price, usually on the basis of a specific action. Like a quotation, an estimate is not a legally binding offer so that the person making it is not bound to accept any order that may be placed against it.
Estimate letter sample
5th July 2010
Dear Sirs
Would you please estimate for installing central heating in the bungalow at Margate Road, St Annes—on—Sea.
I enclose a specification and a plan showing required positions of radiators.
Cost is of course a matter of some importance but, as you will gather from the specification,
I am interested only in first—class workmanship and in the use of best quality materials. Completion of the work is required by 31st August at the latest, and I shall be glad if in your reply you will give me a firm completion date so that I can make arrangements for our removal from London.
Yours faithfully
(signed)
Jimmy Bullard
