I am interested in being considered for your project. At the outset, I do advise that I have extensive experience in copywriting, editing, media and public relations and in related professional disciplines. Therefore, I believe that I have the background necessary to undertake your project successfully. In addition, I have a member of my staff that worked for a market research firm and can add significant assistance in regard to your particular needs. Mine is something of a placeholder bid as I would like to discuss this project with you further to figure out your specific needs. Some of my more significant and recent professional credits include two novels published internationally: "The Shadow Cast" and "The Miller Moth." In addition, I was a member of the White House staff for the U.S. President in the Office of Media Relations and Planning. Additionally, I maintain a lengthy list of clients from across the globe for whom I provide extensive services. Naturally, I will be more than happy to provide you with any additional information that you might need in consideration of my bid, including references. I do also want to make a couple of other important points. First of all, I want you to understand that I NEVER bid on projects only to pass them off to other freelancers. The manner in which people are passing of products they are bidding on to someone else utterly is unprofessional. I find that to be an unacceptable practice. Rather, I am part of a firm and I either do all work myself on a project or -- with a client's permission -- have another employee at my firm assist with the project. Additionally, we are U.S. based -- I think it is important to have native English speakers working on English copy for the best results. I also want to add that I spend a great deal of time in Arizona on a regular basis and know the state very well.
