Kindly ignore the bid amount, it is just a placeholder to submit the proposal & start communication with you to discuss further, 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 we have experience working on few Social Networking websites, so technically you don't have to worry but keeping the high level requirements & reference website features in mind, I am afraid that our estimate is higher than your set budget, so would you be flexible in it? If not then no problem and I totally understand.
Please let me know, if you want to review some of our past work as I don't want to bombard you with lot of links at first place.
Look forward to hearing from you and talking to you further thru' Freelancer message board.
Regards,
YK
