Dear Sir or Madam:
Greetings and good evening! I am Mr. Arthur H. Benitez, a graduate of B.S. in Computer Science from the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, the University of the Philippines' sister school here in Iligan City, Philippines.
I was very excited to see your "Audio Transcription" job ad here at Freelancer.com because in the past, I've had various transcription experiences, as I do freelance audio transcribing on the side (aside from writing), and I'm also a former teacher (and Department Head at that) of Medical Transcription in a technical school here (in Iligan) where I used to work. I also possess, in my humble opinion, a fairly-good command of the English language.
And to signify my enthusiasm/willingness/good faith to work with you Sir/Ma'm, I'm very much okay with the US$ 0.42 per audio minute "rate" that you are offering, and I’m "putting in" here the lowest possible "bid".
Well, I guess that's about it for now, Sir/Ma'm. I think I have said what I wanted to say. Perhaps, if you would want to "evaluate" me before hiring, I could also offer to transcribe for you on a "trial" basis.
I look forward to hearing from you again, Sir/Ma’m, and to transcribe one of your "trial" audio files. Thank you for taking your time to read this rather humble and very short "application" of mine, God Bless, and more success in your business.. You may message me here or send me an e-mail via my GMail account (artomarbenitez @ GMail dot com).
