After saving your document to the desktop, attach it to an email message with appropriate intro text.
Your email subjectline should be titled to reflect the client name, project description and draft number.
Sample Email Subjectline:
Rocky's Hot Wings Menu Copy Draft 1
When you make future revisions and subsequent drafts of this client's copy, retain the identical email subjectline and delete the "RE:" from the subjectline, as this will mess up the sorting of your emails in your inbox as well as tick off the person who is on the receiving end of the work.
Your next draft of this same file should be named:
Rocky's Hot Wings Menu Copy Draft 2
At some point you may want to ask questions, qualify what you wrote, make a suggestion or otherwise comment along with copy you submit. The ideal place to do this is in the email itself, as a brief memo. Be sure to include your contact information such as email address and phone number at the bottom of the email for quick reference.
Storing Your Files
For your own peace of mind, it's wise to store existing drafts in their own properly labeled folders on your Desktop or wherever you prefer to keep your work files. You never know when a client will want to go back to "square one" and if you know where square one is located you can save yourself a lot of anguish.
