Good thing you're not selling ^^. It's a nice idea of yours to distribute.

I'm afraid I can't say I do. It ultimately depends on the company and the band. Just know that it may be expensive, and the people at the company will give you the ultimate quote. Also, when they write back to you, they'll probably include some kind of "techinical terminology" for the quote, which you can look up on google to see if someone else got the same thing and posted it online.

I think a letter is a good idea because then it's not something that can be screwed up by the general email confusion. Maybe write an email to summarize the situation and ask for which department to send it to...they may have different areas in their studio. In fact, I'm sure they will. Also you may say "what information would you like me to give you? I'll include everything I have, but is there anything in particular that is absolutely important?" and then maybe list your information you have right now and see if they point anything out. Ater that write a letter and send the file so they can look at it.

I wish you luck in your endeavor. If anything you can just keep it on your computer, and know you created it.
