Good Morning,
First, I thank you for the invitation to bid. Unfortunately, the freelancer system brought me to this page which says that my "bid was placed successfully," yet I did not actually put in any numbers for the bid at all and I have no idea what numbers were put in for my bid, that I did not place. Not a great way to start a relationship!
That said, I am an attorney of 25 years with great client skills and an eye for precision and accuracy. I believe it makes me an excellent candidate for this position. I also would have placed a bid for a higher hourly than you budget, had placed. My paralegal rate was actually higher than your attorney budget. So, as interested as I am about speaking to you further about this matter, plus take the bid amount as freelancer's bid, not mine!
Again, thank you for the invitation to bid. I also found that I can "fix" the bid, which I have done. Now, it is my bid.
