Re: [Client/Matter_________]
Dear _________:
Enclosed are copies of the following that I received yesterday:
Letter from [Name_________] dated _________
Draft of [Title_________] Contract
Schedule A to Contract
Schedule B to Contract
The following are my comments concerning these documents:
Read the Documents. I strongly advise that you read each of these documents. I have read them, and this letter sets forth my thoughts, but you may think of other questions when you read them. You have special knowledge about your business that I do not have, and your special knowledge may lead you to see potential problems in these documents that I could not see. So, please read these documents, jot down questions while you read them, and then call me to discuss them.
Term. The Term seems to me to be rather short. Perhaps the Term should be longer.
Price. The Price is not clearly defined. The Contract refers to unit price but does not define what is a unit.
[Etc.]
Please call me after you read this letter and its enclosures.
Very truly yours,
[Lawyer _________]

Re: [Client/Matter_________]
Dear _________:
This confirms that I received your [Date_________] letter and its enclosed draft of the [Title_________] Contract. I have read the draft, discussed it with my client [Client_________], and have the following initial comments that we will need to resolve before we can move ahead with negotiating the finer points of the Contract:
Term. The Term would need to be at least _________ years before my client could seriously consider entering into the Contract.
Unit Price. The Unit Price would need to be at least $_________ before my client could consider the Contract financially feasible.
Controlling Law. My client does business only in the State of Florida and does not desire to engage a lawyer in [State_________], so the Contract will need to provide that Florida law controls.
Publicity. My client requests that the last sentence of paragraph 3 on page 2 of the Contract be changed to read as follows: _________.
Please discuss these points with your client and let me know if your client is willing to pursue negotiation of a Contract along these lines.
Very truly yours,
[Lawyer _________]
