Dear [Recipients Name],
Enclosed is the draft of the contract for the franchise of FreshH2O Water Refilling Station. Those written in blue ink are the changes that I made. Most of my corrections are about the grammar and sentence structure. However, for the 3rd and 4th paragraphs, I feel that it still needs a little restructuring. It seems that the thought and purpose are not that well expressed. Kindly check if you can do some revisions on it.
Preferably the contract must be enforced next month around the second week. It would help a lot if you can email me or fax a copy of corrections that we made. Thank for helping out with this issue.
Sincerely,
[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing transmittal letters to business partners
Transmittal Letters
Transmittal letters are letters written to accompany important documents such as financial reports, proposals, security certificates, or any other sensitive information. Such letters are usually sent by businesses, organizations, or individuals to provide information about the corresponding documents. Generally speaking, a transmittal letter explains the document, why it should receive the recipient's consideration, and what he/she should do with it. The recipient reads the transmittal letter to identify the context in which he/she should view the document. Sometimes, cover letters that accompany job applications and resumes are also called transmittal letters.
The main purpose of transmittal letters is to introduce other documents. Therefore, they need to be as neat and clear as possible. State the document name. Give a brief content description and the reason for sending. Include actions the recipient should take like notifying the sender of the document's receipt or forwarding it to another person. Include important deadlines and dates that the recipient should be made aware of. Highlight the major points or sections of the document. Be brief and do not let the letter exceed one page. End with your contact information, statement of thanks, and offers of assistance. Print the letter on the company's letterhead.

State the date clearly and mention any document that is enclosed with the letter. Close the letter on a positive note and sign it off with your name and title.
