To Whom It May Concern:
I’m writing you in response to the Proofreader / Writer position that I’ve just been
made aware of through Indeed.
To be perfectly honest, I’m so excited to apply for this position, since I´ve been
working as a freelancer for almost 20 years now and your remote opportunity
sounds so interesting. And to be perfectly honest, I think we’d be a good fit! I’m an
expert communicator who can convey complex ideas in a clear way.
About Me: I’m a recently published author of the book “XXXX: A Memoir” and
other articles. I’m a seasoned Editor, Translator, Proofreader and Podcaster. I ran
my own language company for 22 years, but I’ve just scaled back to look for other
opportunities.
Personality: I’m a passionate empath who believes in inclusivity and is culturally
competent to be able to work with all types of individuals. In summary, I’m a
people person.
Languages: I’m an English native speaker from the US, but I speak Spanish like a
near-native and have studied Portuguese, but I am not quite proficient yet.
It would be a pleasure to talk with you about this position. I think you’ll enjoy
working with me, as I’m a team player, pleasant to work with and have a sense of
humor.
For your information, it wouldn’t be an issue working under a 1099 status or
another US classification status in the US. I do have two reliable Internet
connections, so I’m able to work online without any interruptions.
It would be a pleasure to work with you in this capacity. I hope to hear back from
you soon!
Kind regards,
