> How do we convince him to give us the project?

You don't, he's a problem customer and potentially a scammer trying to get you to work for free. It's probable he never had any intention of hiring you, Move on and don't get involved with people like that.

Thanks appreciate your feedback.

I should add, if you're really desperate $YYYY might be a better option, but after the either drop or deprioritize them.

And expect to run into more people like that in future, especially with small businesses.

We are really not desperate with the option he has offered. I think we will pass on and have decided to remain silent for the email he sent to us. Agree with you that we can meet such people in the times to come. It's better to stop wasting time on them. Thanks.
