# Appointment letter checklist

> What to bring to a first appointment, set as the confirmation letter itself: a card with the booking's details written into ruled blanks (date, time, who, where, length and fee) and a checklist of empty squares to tick the night before, beside a short introduction. States no colour and no font of its own.

## Variations (2)

### Letter card (the default)

Identical markup in every theme.

Your base ground and contrast text, the letter a role-plate card on a hairline, the blanks ruled in role-rule and the tick boxes outlined in your text colour.

### Mend

This variation states its own colours and states its own type: identical in every theme.

The Mend physio set: clinical white ground, deep teal ink, a mint letter card headed by an apricot band, the details on teal-ruled blanks, empty teal tick boxes and sage labels, all in Avenir Next.

## The signature moment: the section is the letter, with the boxes left empty

**The card reads as a filled-in form, not a list of tips.** Each detail sits
on its own ruled blank with a small label to its left (Date, Time, With,
Where, Length), the value written above the line as if by hand, and a
reference number in the corner. Under it, five things to bring each hang off
an empty square outlined in the text colour, waiting for a tick. It is
rules and outlines, not colour, so it survives any theme; on a phone the
introduction stacks above the letter.

## What it inherits from your theme

- **Typeface.** The base states no font family.
- **Palette.** Your `base` ground and `contrast` text. The letter tries
  `role-plate` and `role-plate-text`, falling back to `base` and `contrast`,
  on a `role-rule` hairline; the blanks are `role-rule` and the boxes
  `contrast`. The label tries `role-label`.

## What it decides for itself

- **The heading.** Off the ladder on purpose, a bare clamp that is 34px on a
  phone and 64px by 1280.
- **The written values.** `clamp(1.0625rem, 1.4vw, 1.25rem)` at 500, a step
  above the body so they read as filled in.

## What to change first

1. **The details.** Your own example booking, or a sample the customer
   recognises from your real confirmation email.
2. **The list.** What your customers should bring; duplicate a row for more.
3. **The phone number.** The `tel:` text-link button beside the last line.

## The Mend look

Part of the Mend Pattern Set, one physiotherapy clinic's whole site in one
design language: clinical white ground `#f7faf9`, deep teal-navy ink
`#12303a`, muted ink `#4a6068`, sage `#3d6e5c` labels, mint `#e6f0ec` cards
on `#d3dfdb` hairlines, and apricot `#f2a65a` as the one warm mark in the section, a fill or a rule and never text on the white ground. Avenir Next throughout, headings 600 and display 500;
cards at 10px. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on.
Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's **Use my theme** chip.

## Notes

- Core blocks only: group, heading, paragraph. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.
- The root group sets headings and links to `currentColor`, so every heading,
  paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only
  role-bearing text (labels, rules, plates) carries its own chain.
