# ConEst Pre-Takeoff Email Template

%%
Email template for use in [[pdi-pre-takeoff-confirmation]].

This template effectively replicates the official template
originally written in Microsoft Word.

It's my belief that this template can not be implemented
without significant modifications specific to the intended project.
See implementations elsewhere in this notebook for reference.
