Following up after a holiday period

A major holiday period has paused your discussions and you want to resume.

Tip: Give your partner a few working days back before you write. Greetings come first; business follows.

Fill every field before you send. Remove any line that does not apply, rather than leaving a field empty. Adjust the greeting to the time of day where your partner is.

Subject: Greetings after the holidays, and our next steps

Dear {{PartnerTitle}} {{Surname}},

I hope you and your family had a joyful and restful {{Occasion}}.

Now that the holiday period has ended, I wanted to reconnect about {{Topic}}.

When we last spoke, we agreed on these next steps: {{NextSteps}}

Is this still a good time to continue, or would you prefer to resume at a later date? Either is fine with us. I am happy to arrange a call whenever it suits you.

Warm regards,
