DATE: SUBJECT: Proposed Changes to the Proposal
It has come to my attention that you intend to move forward with accepting the contract despite the events that transpired, going against our company’s policies. As a close friend and working partner, I wish to advise you to terminate the remaining process of securing the client. So far the entire process has suffocated most of us, and despite our astounding presentations, we were still shortlisted among last firms preferable by the client. There is no point of us persisting, and in case your quest to win the contract succeeds, there are significant issues I want to bring to your attention before you accept the deal.
We have served several clients since we started the company and most of them have complemented our honesty with regards to our potential as a firm. We have not made any promises that we weren’t in a position to fulfill nor have we disappointed our clients at the end of the projects. Insisting that we can complete the task within such as short time is somewhat impractical and we stand a chance to destroy the reputation we have built over the years. The project cannot take less than six months and might require even more time depending on its complexity.
Furthermore, no systems are perfect and being one that will be hosted online; there will still be few imperfections that many results to it being compromised. Most of our former customers have praised stating that our products are the best in the market.

None of them denied us the contract after outlining the slight chances that their system might be compromised. Moving forward with the argument that we can create an ideal system that is impenetrable, is entirely impossible. We will build a wrong picture to our future potential clients, and we won’t be gaining any competitive advantage in the market.
The idea of rewriting the boilerplate leaving some of the members of the firm to suit the client’s needs, in this case, it is inappropriate and an apparent act of discrimination. Keeping the names of some of the people who play crucial roles in the construction, because of the gender, is unacceptable and against what we stand for in the firm. We believe in team effort and hence team appreciation is mandatory.
If having the names of all the participants included in the plate will be an issue for the client, then it will be good if you run the contract specification with the rest of the group and hear their take before. Furthermore, it is essential that all the members are involved in the decision about the timeline we can present before the client since it will directly impact their schedule. As for my case, I will not accept to be part of the contract approval when it requires us to be sexists and one which will result in the company ruining its reputation.
