Weekly Client Status Email Template

I've been immersed in client services lately and wanted to share a very simple yet handy template. For every client project you have in flight, you should be sending a weekly checkin email about it. These can be a light or heavy as they need to be. The one below is more of a take-what-you-want-and-leave-the-rest style but it's a pretty solid start. It's formatted for Markdown so you can nice shiny branded emails.
