Hi client_first_name,

As we've progressed through project_name, a scope change has come up that falls outside the original agreement. I'm submitting this change order for your review and approval before we proceed.

CHANGE ORDER DETAILS

• Change Order Number: change_order_number

• Project: project_name

• Description: change_description

• Cost Impact: +$cost_impact

• Schedule Impact: timeline_impact

WHY THIS CHANGE IS NEEDED

This work was not included in the original scope of work but has been identified as necessary (or requested) to achieve the project goals as currently understood. We never want to absorb undisclosed costs or proceed with work that hasn't been authorized — which is why we document these changes formally before moving forward.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Please review the attached change order document and return a signed copy by approval_deadline. Once approved, we'll incorporate the additional work into the project schedule and invoice accordingly. If you'd like to discuss the change before signing, I'm available for a call at your convenience.

If there's a way to descope or phase this work to manage cost, I'm open to that conversation as well. Reach me at me::phone and we can talk through the options.
