Dear teacher,

Here is the scenario...

My past client contacted me state that she still interested to appoint me a job for her company. She also asks me about a couple of documents and my resume. Unfortunately, I just resigned from my previous employer and now I’m working somewhere else and might be unable to deliver the job because of time restriction. I have to concentrate my job here rather than doing free-lance somewhere else.
However, I’m really interested to do the job as freelancer, but I’m not sure whether I have a time to do it or not.

So, here is the draft of that email. For your information, I have been working with her on one project and she said I did very well in that job. When she found out that I already left from the company, she was quite surprise because she wants me to do another job for her. She just asked me thru the phone something like this


Her : “So Hampeh, what can you do to help me. I have a lot of project and I need your assistant”

Me : “First of all, thanks for the opportunity. Your question seems really hard to answer since I just worked here and didn’t plan to move out at this moment. However, I’m ok with any freelance job.”

Her : “Okay, we’ll see what can I do for you. By the way, can you send me the document ABC. I lost it and cannot ask it from my superior because she will angry because of this”

Me : “Ok. I’ll find it and send it to you as soon as possible.

Her : “Hampeh, if you really interested to work with us (I’m not sure whether she offer me full time or free-lance), can you send your resume to me.

Me : “Yes, sure”

Here is the first draft of my email to her. Kindly please check the grammar, wording or whatever you think is suitable.


Dear Lynda,

How are you? Hope all is well with you.

According to our phone conversation this morning, I’m glad to hear that you are still interested to appoint me to perform the job.
Here are the documents and my resume as requested.

Hopefully we can work again.

Best regards,

Too much verbiage-- just state your point simply:

I hope we can work together again.

Thank you Mr. Mister Micawber... You're the best Smile [:)]

Hopefully you can clarify this.

I’m glad to hear that you are still interested in hiring me.

This statement also means that hiring as a free lancer? Because I just move on to another job and didn’t plan to switch at the moment

Thanks again.

It does (because you have presumably discussed this point before on the phone), but if you like, you can add the phrase:

I’m glad to hear that you are still interested in hiring me as a free-lancer.
