Dear Sir:

Regarding your letter dated directing me to proceed with (describe change), at a cost not to exceed $ . I am proceeding with the work as directed. 

I will proceed as efficiently as possible, however, I cannot guarantee that the ultimate cost of the work will not exceed the ceiling price. I do not believe that your current estimate of the cost of the work includes the actual scope of performance required by this change, nor does it allow for impact and delay costs. I think you will agree that it would be unfair to allow me less than an equitable adjustment in these circumstances.

I will be forwarding my Request for Equitable Adjustment for this change in the near future.
