TEMPLATE
================================================================

Hi [Client First Name or "there"],

I saw your post about [specific development task, e.g., building
a custom WordPress plugin, fixing performance issues on a React
app, setting up a WooCommerce store]. I have completed [number]
similar projects and most recently helped [type of client, e.g.,
a retail brand, a SaaS startup] [specific outcome, e.g., cut
page load time from 6 seconds to under 2, launch a fully
functional store in under two weeks].

My stack includes [your technologies, e.g., PHP, JavaScript,
React, Node.js, CSS]. I always build in a staging environment
before touching anything live, and I document my code so you
can maintain it after the project wraps.

Estimated timeline for a project like yours is [your estimate,
e.g., 5 to 7 business days]. Here is a link to a recent similar
project: [portfolio URL]. Happy to jump on a quick call to
confirm scope and get started.

[Your Full Name]
[Your Upwork Profile URL or Portfolio Link]

================================================================
PERSONALIZATION CHECKLIST

[ ] Proposal is between 100 and 200 words

PHRASES TO AVOID
================================================================

- "I am a skilled and experienced developer"
- "I have worked with many technologies"
- "I am passionate about clean code"
- "I look forward to your response"
- "I can do everything listed in your job post"

Replace these with your actual stack, timeline, and proof of work.
