Kindly ignore the bid amount & time-line, it is just a placeholder to submit the proposal, as our estimate is higher than your set budget, so would you be flexible in it?

Dear Sir,
I have read your Project Description and fully understood your requirements, in fact we have already developed lot of features in other sites, so technically you won't have any issues working with our team but I am afraid that our estimate is way higher than your set budget, because of the fact, there are lot of features & we have to calculate the working Man-Hours based on the features/scope of work.
So, are you flexible in your set budget of US $1,500 or this is the maximum limit? Normally this kind of website cost would be higher than US $6,000 (Excluding Freelancer fee) but I am giving you a VERY rough/ballpark estimate, just to give you an idea. Obviously, once you show some flexibility, then I can instruct my technical team lead to analyze and estimate it accurately.
Look forward to hearing from you and talking to you further thru' Freelancer message board.
Regards,
YK
