Here’s what I write back to these folks:
Dear Dr. ….
Thank you for your interest in my research. I would be very pleased to help you integrate my research into your offerings.
I’ve set up a net 30 billing log for ResearchMedia. My fee is usually $1000/day (plus expenses), but as you represent a non-profit research organization, I can offer you my discounted rate of $800/day or $4000/week (plus expenses, of course). You may put me in touch at your convenience with the person with whom I will be working on this interesting project. I’ve pre-clocked one day, which should cover the preliminaries.
I bill on the first of each month, net 30. Is your email address the correct one to bill? If not, please give me the correct billing address.
Your reply to this email, or any further communication from ResearchMedia representatives regarding this project, will constitute agreement to these terms.
I look forward to assisting you in this project.
Best,
…..
