Touching base email template

Here is a template for a "touching base" email:

Subject: Touching Base on [Project/Topic]

Dear [Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to touch base with you and [briefly mention the purpose of the email, e.g. "check in on the status of the project" or "follow up on our previous conversation"].

As a quick update, [provide any relevant information or updates]. I wanted to make sure you were aware of [specific details or changes].

I also wanted to [mention any next steps or actions you need from the recipient]. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and continuing to work together on [project/topic].

Best regards,

[Your Name]

This template is a good starting point, but you can customize it to fit your specific needs and style. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Keep the email brief and to the point. You're just touching base, not trying to convey a lot of new information.
• Make sure to provide any necessary updates or context, but don't overwhelm the recipient with too much information.
• Be clear about what you're asking for or what you need from the recipient.
• End the email with a positive note and a clear call to action (e.g. "looking forward to hearing back from you").

Here's an example of what the email might look like in practice:

Subject: Touching Base on Johnson Account

Dear Sarah,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to touch base with you to check in on the status of the Johnson account. As you know, we're getting close to the deadline for the proposal, and I wanted to make sure everything is on track.

I've reviewed the draft proposal and it looks great. I just wanted to confirm that you're happy with the changes I made and that you're ready to move forward with the final submission.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll send over the final draft by the end of the week.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and wrapping up this project.

Best regards, John
