we lost a job, how to let the company know we would like to do bu.

[secbg3]

My company bid a job, but then the client decided not go ahead with the job
and cancelled the whole job, with the contractor and all of the subs as we
are a subcontractor. However we would still like to do business in the future
with this client. How do I say this correctly in a letter?

Hi, secbg3,

I don't know how this relates to support for Microsoft Office, but here's a
suggestion. The things in the <> brackets are for you to replace with your
information. You don't mention what kind of work you do, or what the
project was, so this is somewhat generic.

----------------------------------------------------

<Name>
<Title>
<Client Name>
<Address>

Dear <Mr. / Ms> <Name>:

We were disappointed to hear of your decision to cancel of the <project
name> project, as we had bid on the job along with <contractor>. We were
looking forward to working on this exciting project, as the <type of work>
work is our area of specialty.

Please know that we would appreciate the opportunity to do business with
you, should you need <type of work > services in the future.

<brief description of what you do and why you are the best>

If I can provide you more information on our services, or an estimate for
<type of work>, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

<Your Name>

Include a brochure or whatever literature you might have, as well as a
business card. Before you do this, though, make sure that you won't tick
off your contractor by contacting the client directly. It would be a shame
to ruin a good working relationship, if that's an issue for you.
