Dear Ms./Mr.,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am applying for your job since I have extensive experience translating and proofreading documents from English to Portuguese.
Furthermore, I am a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I am a bilingual English speaker.
During my bachelor's at The Hague University, not only did I have to translate numerous academic articles, but I also had to tutor my colleagues who took Portuguese classes. Additionally, my BA was taught in English, and my MA is currently being taught in English.
Therefore, I am suited for translating and proofreading jobs in both languages.
Lastly, I am a good fit for your project because I have over ten years of experience in translations. Plus, I have high-level language skills, and I can combine those with my communication skills when discussing the job with my clients, which in turn avoids mistakes and misunderstanding, therefore resulting in a high-quality translation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will be glad to answer any of your questions :)
Best regards,
Ana Ribeiro
