Good afternoon all,

I am new here on the site and am really hoping that someone can offer me some advice please.

I recently left the comfort of a successful sales career to embark upon something that actually means something to me and as such I have decided upon a career in proofreading, on a freelance basis.

I have spent the last few weeks devouring every book I could find, taking every online test and have found that I am really good at it and I am really excited about this next chapter in my life!

Having carried out some "free" work for friends and family, I now feel ready to approach some companies, however, I am really struggling to put all this into a coherent introductory email to send out to prospective clients.

I have never had to "sell" myelf like this before and I'm not really sure where to start so any pointers/advice would be very, very welcome!

Thank you in advance

Emma
