Write a professional email from a {{freelance_role}} to a client who objected to the quoted rate of {{rate_amount}}. Use a {{tone}} tone — confident, not defensive. Do not lower the rate. Reframe the value tied to specific outcomes. Offer an alternative scope reduction as a concession. Ask about the client's budget. Include a subject line, salutation, body (2-3 paragraphs), and closing with a call to action. Maximum 250 words. Paste any relevant background information after these instructions before running.
