All about Leasing Equipment

I am a Director of an office and need to relocate our office and I need to email the project manager to delegate these tasks:
Find a suitable location
Negotiate a lease
set up information systems and computers
arrange office configuration
assess equipment needs
hire movers
set timelines for completion of various tasks
identify what team members you will need to assist you
I am not sure how to start this email, could someone assist me with how I could go about this, I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Wow! Mike, you must really trust your project manager in order to actually give them the authority to do ALL of these tasks. That lease you want the PM to negotiate is going to lock your company into a huge on-going set of expenses for years…

I would suggest an approach that seperates site selection and lease negotiation from the actual move. The first set of tasks are (1) creating a timeline and budget for both the short-term relocation project and for the long term lease/purchase expenses, (2) identifying the new location and (3) negotiating a lease/purchase for the property. There are service providers (eg: GOOD real estate broker and attorneys) that need to be involved in these 3 steps of the project but will not be involved in the rest of the move. Also, the senior management in your organization will need to be more deeply involved in this phase than in the nitty-gritty of what mover you use.

If you really just want an opening for your Email…
