We are a travel company. Per month, we require 10 creatives for our social media postings. Please let me know what the quotation would be for this work.

Regards,

Anand Singh

Capitalization: The title “Mr.” should have capitalized M and letters P S in Paresh Soni must also be capitalized.

Punctuation: Use of commas and full stops is accurate.
