Create a complete client onboarding email sequence for my freelance business.

My details:
- My profession: [e.g., graphic designer / web developer / copywriter / consultant]
- Project type: [e.g., brand identity package / website redesign / content strategy]
- Typical project duration: [e.g., 2-4 weeks]
- My communication preferences: [e.g., email + Slack, response within 24 hours, available Mon-Fri 9-5]

Write 4 emails:

Email 1: Welcome and Next Steps
- Thank them for choosing me
- Outline what happens next in the process
- Set expectations for communication (preferred channels, response times, availability hours)
- Mention the onboarding questionnaire they will receive next

Email 2: Project Kickoff Details
- Confirm the project scope, deliverables, and timeline with specific milestones
- Confirm payment schedule
- Request any assets, brand guidelines, login credentials, or materials I need
- Set the date for our kickoff call

Email 3: Onboarding Questionnaire
- Generate 12-15 targeted questions specific to my profession and project type
- Questions should cover: their brand, target audience, preferences, competitors, goals, inspiration, and constraints
- Format as a numbered list they can reply to directly

Email 4: First Progress Update Template
- What I have completed so far
- What is coming next
- Any decisions or input needed from them
- Next milestone date

Keep each email under 200 words. Include subject lines. Tone: professional but warm, organized but not robotic.
