Excuse Emails :D

Estimated duration: 1 day
Description: Hello!

I'm looking for something really strange, but not being a great business writer, and not having time, I thought I would reach-out to you for assistance.

Quick background:

I'm a freelance Web Designer, and I have a Quote Request Form on my site. I'm getting really really busy, and I'm getting about 5 quote requests per day now!

While I'm tweaking the workflow to point people into a better place, I really need to communicate to these who have sent messages— as far back as two months ago.

I know that fast responses are a sign of a well-organized operation, so maybe just knowing this makes me feel worse about the whole situation (because I'm not!), but I really need to respond, and I'm looking for several great responses to send to these people.

If possible, can you provide "canned responses" spanning various levels of delay/timing?

AN EXAMPLE I'VE USED IN THE PAST____________

So far, 2013 has been an record year for Web Design requests for us, which is great news!

We're running a little behind here in getting back to you about your website, but working through the next few days to re-connect with you and bring you up to speed.

Hopefully we can meet with you shortly to discuss your project.

If there's anything you need in the meantime, please don't hesitate to shout.
