Hello Heidi,
I am submitting a bid on the freelancer listing for the six documentary style promotional videos. The listing said to email you, but your email was redacted by freelancer. So I decided to find your email elsewhere and email you with my bid as you intended.
My name is Ethan Blount and my background is mostly in documentary filming, most recently in the South Pacific. However, I have been looking for an opportunity to transition into promotional film work with a documentary style. I have been searching for a non-profit that has a basis in Christian values. Last night, I was going through my freelancer feed and, providentially, found precisely that. I am someone who aligns with your values, has the skills needed to plan, produce, film, and edit the six videos mentioned in your listing, and moreover, I have the passion to complete the project.
My timeline would be three days of filming and three days of editing.
Your 15,000 price tag is more than sufficient — in fact, a huge advantage of my bid compared to others is that I offer a satisfaction guarantee. No money upfront! All payments can be made upon completion and once you are fully satisfied with the videos.
In the spirit of the fourth of July, I attached just a side project that I filmed in the South Pacific last year.

I look forward to working with you. Thank you for your time. Are you available to meet on Friday?
