As a full time freelancer with zero spare time I can tell you that
generally, the more detail you provide up front the better.

1: Expected time frame you are hoping to have the work completed
days/weeks/months/years
2: Whether the work can be done on site or off site.
3: Hourly rate or other compensation details.
4: Details on what you need done. IE: drupal module that does x,y, and or z
vs. drupal customizations.
5: Who you are, company info etc....

just my .02
