Dear Sir or Madam,
I hereby apply for the translation job as advertised on freelancer.com.
I am a native German speaker with excellent grammar, spelling, vocabulary and punctuation.
I have worked on several translation and proofreading jobs at university - since I am only just starting out as a freelance translator I cannot provide professional references yet, but I am convinced I am the best candidate for your job.
I have some basic experience with Adobe InDesign, but being a fast and independet learner, I will not have trouble working with the software. Alternatively I would also be interested in doing the translation work only.
I am hard working, thorough and a hundred per cent reliable. Please feel free to send me any sample materials to test my abilities as a translator.
My bid for this project is 0.09$ per word; however this is negotiable depending on the word count of the project. The delivery time also depends on the length of the project.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions at all.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Ilona Meier
