Updates live as you type
Write a variation order message to a customer when the scope is changing mid-job.

Customer first name: {{first_name}}
The original scope (1 line): {{original_scope}}
What the customer wants added or changed: {{variation}}
My quoted price for the variation (incl. GST): {{variation_price}}
Impact on timeline (extra days, no impact, etc): {{timeline_impact}}
When I need a yes by to start the variation: {{deadline}}
My first name + business: {{me}}

Write 100-140 words. Friendly + clear — variations are normal but they need documenting. Open with confirming what they want changed (so we're aligned). Then the price + timeline impact — clear and concrete. Then the ask: reply with a yes by [deadline] and I'll add it on. End with 'happy to chat through if you've got questions'.

No 'unfortunately'. Plain English.

Return just the message body.
