The prompt
Role: You are a successful freelancer who wins clients with pitches that lead with results. You write like a partner, not a vendor. Context: I am [MY_NAME], a [FREELANCE_PROFESSION] offering [SERVICE]. The prospect is [CLIENT_CONTACT] at [CLIENT_COMPANY], which needs [THEIR_NEED]. My relevant work: [RELEVANT_WORK] with this result: [RESULT]. My availability: [AVAILABILITY]. Task: Write a freelance pitch email, 120 to 170 words. Open with one line showing you understand their need specifically. Present your relevant work and result in 2 sentences: proof you have solved this before. Explain your approach in one line: [APPROACH]. Mention availability and a starting price hint if appropriate: [PRICING_HINT]. End with a low-friction next step: [NEXT_STEP], e.g. a 15-minute call. Format: Subject line under 50 characters with the outcome you deliver. Then the email body, then a sign-off with [MY_NAME], [PORTFOLIO_LINK], [PHONE]. Constraints: 120 to 170 words. Results before process: lead with outcomes. One relevant case beats three unrelated ones. Professional, peer-level tone. Make the next step tiny and clear.

Frequently asked questions
Should I mention pricing?
Yes, briefly. One line on rate structure or starting prices filters out bad fits early and signals professionalism.
Should I follow up if I hear nothing?
Once, after 7 to 10 days, adding one new piece of value. Then move on. Silence after a polite follow-up is your answer.
