how I write a quote - same 7 things every time, in this order, nothing else

1. what the job is, in THEIR words handed back, so they know I read it
2. the price as a SUM. day rate + travel if any + total. never one big number
3. which goats are coming and why each one
   (Kevin because its steep. Mabel because she never misses a corner.)
4. which goats are STAYING HOME and why
   <- this is the bit people write back about. also proves I read the message
5. what happens on the day. arrive morning, eat all day, home at night
6. when I could start
7. one plain question so they only have to say yes

TONE
short sentences. no fuss. ONE small joke and only one - usually whichever
goat is being kept at home and why.
three jokes in a quote doesnt read as friendly. reads like someone not
taking your bramble patch seriously.

never:
- promise a day I havent checked
- quote a price I havent got a rule for
- say "up to" or "starting from". if I dont know enough to price it, I ask
