[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 227918, member: 36777"] There is no strict rule as to how long a client email should be, as this will heavily depend on the details of the task and the amount of information you have to read and comment one, but also on the amount of time available - as this will determine how strict you have to be with yourself concerning what you can include in your answer without losing valuable time which would be better spent in another part of the answer. In practice, I think my written exercise ended up being anywhere from 1000 to 2000ish words; but I also know people who have been successful and had very different ranges. As for the executive summary - I definitely think including one is a good idea, particularly if you have a longer answer following it; and in my view 250ish words would be an appropriate word count to dedicate to it assuming the rest of the written piece is at least around 1000ish words. Nonetheless, and while this is a bit of a pedantic point, I would likely not phrase the ending sentence in the specific way you mentioned (ie "should you need deeper insights") as this can somewhat suggest that the rest of the written piece is incidental to the executive summary and provides unnecessary detail - while in fact it contains the core of your analysis of the matter.
