Hi Darrin
I work in the oil and gas industry in Aberdeen and although I see that you have filled this position, I would be very interested in future assignments you might have.
I feel my experience of proof reading and of the oil industry will be valuable to you for future projects.
Thanks

Hi Darrin,

How long are the documents, on average?

This will have a bearing on the time it takes to edit, proof-read and format which is an important part of the bid.

Thanks,

Phil Pinn

Hi Darrin! I posted a bid to you which is not appearing on my bid list. Could you please check against my name on received bids and advise whether or not you have received it.

If not, I will submit again.

Best wishes

Excel is not critical for this piece of work neither is an understanding of the oil and gas industry though this will help

Hello Darrin,

I have oil and gas industry experience by virtue of working for Amerada Hess in London for five years. I was PA/Administrator to the Global Director of IT and frequently produced/edited/formatted technical documents as described in your project. Additionally, I have a BA (Hons) in English therefore spelling, grammar etc is of an adequate standard for the task.

However, I am undecided whether to bid or not as I do not recall employing Excel skills to any significant degree during this process. In order not to waste your time I thought I would use the clarification board to establish if my general knowledge of Excel would rule me out.

Many thanks,

Catherine

Hi Darrin,

I'm an experienced software Technical Author and user of MS Office, but have little knowledge of your industry (gas and oil). How much will this matter from a proof-reading and editing point of view?
