Dear Prospective Employer:
I am writing because I am interested in offering my newspaper, newsletter and online publications copy-editing and proofreading skills for your Proofreading project.
I promise to bring to your editorial team a sound command of grammar, spelling, sentence structure, style, punctuation and syntax in taking on projects and I am attentive to detail and completeness of the resulting work products of any assignment.
As a first example of my proofreading/editing skills, I serve as chief communications officer part-time for the Pharm Psych network, a medical and educational communications company of seven websites started by a pharmacist.
Secondly, I worked as Technical Editor at large for Proposal Development Consultants, Inc. – the BOSS Group, a proposal writing staffing company in Bethesda, Maryland.
Thirdly, I started my writing and editing career by copy-editing and proofreading news articles and photo captions for the city politics, education, county affairs, suburban news, religion and features sections of three daily newspapers and four twice-monthly, monthly and weekly newsletters under two publication chains -- Chicago Daily Defender, Syracuse Standard and Herald-American, Inside Washington Publishers and Community Development Publications.
I look forward to your response and in possibly working with you.
Warmest regards,
Vladimire Herard
