Hi [name of the client], 

I'm [your name], and I'd love to [what is the job - concisely show the client you understand what’s the job and that you read their job description. Clients HATE general templates]. 

I'm a great fit because [explain why you are a great fit]. [(optional: I also attached an example of [what is the example (it could be a previous job you did, a project from college or a small portion you completed from the project the client posted)] which I find similar to your project.

Freelance proposal example:

Now, let’s see an example of that freelance proposal template. Let’s assume the project you are proposing for is a data analysis of an online survey conducted by the client with regards to their app. 

Hi Jimi, 

I'm Arik, and I'd love to summaries the data you collected through the survey on your app ‘GreatApp’. 

I'm a great fit because I have analyzed data for over 15 surveys so far. I also attached an analysis example of a survey taken by the users of a dating app, which I find similar to your project.

I'm ready to start working on your project tomorrow (9 am EST) and can complete it by Thursday 1 pm EST. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Arik.
