Mine is a placeholder bid as I desire to discuss the parameters of this project further with you. I will insert my standard GAF plug here in a moment ... But, let me highlight a couple of points initially. I have been extremely involved in politics through the past nearly thirty years, including having worked on the White House staff. I have worked on presidential campaigns and so forth. I was heavily involved in the 2008 elections as well. Moreover, I practiced law for a dozen years with real estate law being my specialty. In short, I believe that I can provide you precisely what you need in regard to this article. Here is my standard GAF pitch: 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. Some of my more significant and recent professional experiences 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 will send writing samples to you through the private message system. 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. This is a completely unacceptable, unprofessional practice which is becomming more common all the time. I am not part of some sort of portal that merely passes off your work to a subcontractor. Moreover, English is my native language which also is imperative when you are seeking appropriately crafted copy in this language.
