Dear Project Manager,
I´d be very grateful for the opportunity. I am a very skilled typist and executive multilingual secretary with over 15 years of experience. I´ve already used Pagemaker for over 2 years and have been teaching Microsoft Office Suite at private at schools.
I guess I could be able to provide an average of 4 documents per hour. It is a bit difficult to estimate as I don´t know the size of all documents. Thus, my bid refers to 80 documents, at the most, (20 hours) at US$ 12,50 per hour + freelancer.com fee.
I use one most famous OCR tool to assist me in generating text files. It would save me time if I could keep the format of the originals... like columns, for instance. (I guess most of your documents are from newspapers which usually use columns, and the OCR tool will capture as columns. It will, therefore, be necessary to take out each line break). But, of course, I would follow your instructions, strictly, as to give it back just like your .rtf samples. :) Anyways, I would like to send you a sample of what I mean, in case you like my bid/proposal.
Cheers
