Dear Sir,
Sub: Article Writer needed urgently @ $0.2 per 100 words is project number 926680
Greetings. This is in response to the above project. I can handle it to your satisfaction. Your proposal for paying $0.20 per 100 words is agreeable to me; and so is the arrangement of payment. I shall strive to make each and every article unique and original, grammatically correct and written in perfect English.
Here is my background. I am a journalist based in Mumbai (once Bombay) with more than 30 years of experience, 20 of them with the reputed British international news agency REUTERS (London), whose English writing standards are pretty high. I have written and edited reports extensively on wide-ranging topics, including politics, economics, sports and entertainment. Currently I am working as Group Editor with New Media Communication, a Mumbai-based publishing house that brings out a number of magazines. Being a magazine editor, I am extremely conscious of meeting deadlines. I am computer-savvy and well-versed with the Internet.
As a practicing journalist, I can comfortably handle a daily minimum output of three to four articles of 500 words each and more if required.
I am attaching a small write-up with this note as a sample of my work.
Looking forward to working with you.
.
With warm regards,
Dev Varam

He Came, He Saw, He Mesmerized
By Dev Varam
That was Barack Obama, President of the United States and the world’s most powerful man; and a Nobel laureate to boot. His whirlwind four-day India visit from 6 to 9 November has brought the two countries closer than ever before. Starting with Mumbai, and staying at the Taj Mahal Hotel, the legendary landmark of the city that bore the brunt of a brutal terrorist attack on 26 November 2008, Obama touched the country’s emotional cord by his gesture. During his hectic city schedule, an unassuming Obama mingled with students like he were their favourite teacher, smiling, laughing, joking and earnestly answering their serious questions. With wife Michelle giving him company, Obama joined a bunch of boisterous kids and shook a leg to a noisy fisher-folk song. Then the couple celebrated “Divali”, India’s most popular Hindu festival of lights with underprivileged school children. Obama then drove down to an Expo and joined a video conference to interact with rugged farmers in distant Rajasthan. He visited a Gandhi Memorial and paid a moving tribute to the Mahatma, father of India. Obama wrote from his heart to say how deeply the philosophy of the Mahatma has influenced his life and thinking. In the evening, Obama addressed a high-powered business meeting, teeming with corporate leaders from both countries, stressing how increased bilateral trade could benefit one and all. Charmed business leaders fell head over heels, seeking his autograph, like school children. During the Obamas’ two-day stay in Mumbai, the city witnessed the biggest ever security exercise in its memory. On reaching New Delhi and driving down to Rajghat, the Gandhi Memorial, Obama paid yet another glorious tribute to the Mahatma. “We will always remember the great soul who changed the world with his message of peace, tolerance, of love. More than 60 years of his passing away, his light continues to inspire the world.”
The orator in Obama toughed the hearts and minds of a billion Indians, when he addressed the Indian Parliament, quoting Indian mystics, poets and great leaders. No wonder,
the awe-struck Members of Parliament rose to a man to give a standing ovation to the visiting President.
That was Barack Obama, who described himself self-effacingly as a lanky, skinny man with a funny name. That was President Obama who mesmerized India.
