Draft a quote cover note

Allow 4 minutes. A Christchurch builder wants a clear cover note. This is an invented example. Copilot must not decide the price, scope or contract terms.

Before

"Make a professional building quote."

That instruction invites unsupported details. Start with a supplied scope instead.

After

Help the administrator of an invented Christchurch builder.
Write a short cover note to accompany an approved quote.
Use only these facts:
- Work: replace one internal door and its hardware.
- The approved quote is attached separately.
- Timing will be agreed after the client accepts the quote.
- The client should reply with questions about the scope.
Use a practical, friendly tone and NZ English.
Include [client] and [sender] placeholders.
Do not invent a price, GST treatment, start date,
warranty, acceptance period or payment terms.
Keep it under 90 words.

Keep the commercial decision with a person

Check the result against the approved quote. Does "replace" still mean replace, rather than repair? Did "timing to be agreed" become a promise to start next week? Remove any term the source does not support.

A polished cover note cannot confirm that a quote is lawful or complete. The person who owns the quote must approve its scope and terms.

Try it: 2 minutes

Use the prompt, or write your own draft. Request this follow-up: "List any detail you added that was not in my notes." Then do your own line-by-line check; Copilot may miss its own additions.

Done when: the note explains the next step without creating a new commitment.
