40 article rewrites

I have 50 articles ranging in length from 500 to 600 words. I need them shortened to 300-350 words. You don't have to worry about rewriting the existing words, I just need them edited to deliver the same message in shorter words. I've attached more details, please read before bidding. I need this project completed in 4 days. There is no leeway on this. I may select more than one bidder in order to meet that target. It is essential that you deliver each article to me the moment it is completed, no matter what time day or night, so I always know what your progess is and so I can approve each article or send it back for rewrites. In order to meet the deadline for the entire batch, you have to deliver 10 articles per day from the day I accept.? I? plan to accept today.? This is a firm requirement of this bid. Failure to do so will result in my cancelling the project for insufficient progress. All articles must be delivered in plain HTML, not Word HTML. No CSS, etc. Just plain vanella HTML with paragraph, bold, italic and list tages where and when required. NOTE:? Please bid for 2 articles right now so I can try out different writers. I'll select the finalists from that group and award a one-one-one project to save you commission. Please review the attachment for an example of what I expect. ## Deliverables See attachment for full bid details. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Thursday Oct 2, 2008 10:14:33 AM: Sorry. I said 40 in the title and 50 in the description. It may end up being one or the other. However, since you are bidding for just 2 right now, it's not an issue. I'll firm it up when I award the second phase of the bid. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Thursday Oct 2, 2008 2:17:22 PM: I have selected a writer for this project. Thank you all for bidding. I will invite you to my next project when it is ready to be posted.
