Example input

My situation is: A client I have worked with for 8 months keeps adding deliverables without discussing additional fees. The latest project has grown from a single landing page to a full website rebuild. They have not acknowledged the scope change.
My relationship with this client is: Ongoing. They represent about 20% of my monthly revenue. They are generally pleasant but unclear about boundaries.
The outcome I want is: Agreement on additional fees for the extra work and explicit approval of future scope changes.

VERSION ONE — FIRM AND PROFESSIONAL
Subject: Updated Scope and Revised Investment for [Project Name]
Hi [Name],
I wanted to get in touch before we go further with the project to make sure we're aligned on scope and fees.
When we began this project the brief was a single landing page at the agreed fee of [original fee].

The scope has grown quite a bit from where we started — we're now looking at a full website rebuild rather than a single page, which is a different project in terms of time and resource.

I'll send over a revised scope document today with updated investment figures. I wanted to flag it personally first rather than just sending paperwork — it felt like the right way to h
