TEMPLATE

Hi [Client First Name or "there"],

Your post about [specific task, e.g., cleaning a dataset, building
a sales dashboard, automating a reporting spreadsheet, creating a
financial model] is a project type I handle regularly. I recently
completed a similar project for [type of client, e.g., a logistics
company, a marketing agency, an e-commerce brand] and delivered
[specific output, e.g., an automated weekly report that cut manual
reporting time by 4 hours, a dashboard that tracked KPIs across
five departments in one view].

I work in [your tools, e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, Python, SQL,
Tableau, Power BI] and document everything clearly so you can
maintain the output without relying on me long-term. I can
realistically complete this project in [your estimate, e.g.,
3 to 4 business days] based on what you described.

Happy to share a sample of similar work or hop on a quick call
to confirm scope before we start.
