Hi
I am Niji, from the Indian state of Kerala. Malayalam is my mother tongue. I know English well enough to earn a living out of it by working as a freelance editor and writer. I am a post-graduate in communication and journalism. While that may not mean much, my experience of working as a sub editor in a vernacular newspaper might be of interest to you. There, my job involved translating newswire from news agencies into Malayalam text.
Having introduced myself, let me write down my proposal for the job.
Out of your seven requirements, I satisfy all, except one. As of now, I do not have a skype account. But I'll be available on mobile phone, or g-talk and similar things. But I have managed to complete all my projects in Freelancer (about 25 of them) without skype. All the employers have given me maximum ratings.
And now, here are the answers to your questions.
1. The rate is 200$; but I can only give an exact rate only after finishing at least a page of translation.
2. Yes.
3. Usually I work everyday for about 4 or 5 hours.
4. Kerala, India - from birth to now.
5. No one else. Me myself
6. Shall try to send it through PM, but sometimes Freelancer does no allow it.
7. Same as above
8. No problem.
9. To get new projects, to get more employers, to earn money.
10. No. As of now I'm free.
11. OK. No problem.
12. That is a problem. Don't have skype. But available on mobile phone and gtalk.
That's it. If you're interested to hire me, please let me know.
