- Write a short introduction confirming the project goal.
- List scope of work and deliverables in separate bulleted sections.
- List exclusions clearly under a "Not included" heading.
- State fees, payment schedule, and what triggers extra charges.
- Add revision limits, client responsibilities, and approval process.
- Add a phased timeline with target dates.

Output format Professional business letter in markdown, 1 to 2 pages. Use headings and bullet lists. Tone: direct, warm, plain language. Leave out design inspiration, mood boards, and portfolio descriptions.
Guardrails
- Do not invent fees, dates, or legal terms. Use only the inputs and ask for missing details.
- Flag that this document is not a binding contract and a lawyer or local licensing authority should review it if needed.
- If local consumer protection or contract rules apply, tell the user to check them.
