Proofreading

I provide Proofreading services, CV assessment and Academic Writing correction.

Please get in touch here if you need help with your writing.

If you receive this as a response to an unsolicited email, I recommend that you read my tips here:

How to write an email to someone you don’t know.

Most common mistakes

  1. Forms of address

e.g.

  • ‘Hey’ – this is very rude, especially if you don’t use my name. You will not get a response from me.
  • ‘Hiiiiiii’ – as above
  • ‘Hi ieltsetc.com’ – as above
  • ‘Hi fwattam@gmail’ – as above

How to fix: Dear Fiona 

2. Grammar and punctuation errors

Hi   fjwattam@gmail. com,

I am Anju,

I am a Business Consultant in New Delhi (India) which i work with 200+experienced IT professionals who are into:

  • internet site Design
  • internet site Development

Please give me your proper requirements. i will be able to send you the simplest proposal consistent with your need?

Note: it might be good if you’ll share your Mobile no. and that we can discuss intimately

How to fix:

Get someone to proofread your letter.

Or use a free Grammarly service.

3. Not knowing your audience

  • Most people know where New Delhi is.
  • Don’t use slang – the reader doesn’t care what your IT Professionals are ‘into’
  • I don’t want to discuss anything with you intimately.
