How to politely but assertively ask for a position

There is an opening on a team I really would love to join, as I am currently miserable in my role and can not take it much longer... (going desperate) Thing is I am a bit inexperienced for the role and I would be asking for a title promotion. I had coffee with the team lead who was a bit encouraging as he said he is willing to teach someone and just needs a quick learner. That was a month ago and the role is currently on hold (not opened yet) from what I learned it wouldnt be too drastic of a stretch for me to get the position.

Basically how/ what should I say to him through email that would a) let him know I am still very interested in the role and b) I am the right person for the role. I dont want to be overly aggressive as I know how quickly that could backfire but I want to sound assertive and confident in my abilities here.

Any help/advice is appreciated- thanks
